COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A golden lager in the traditional Munich brewing style. This is what you find on tap in Bavaria instead of a Pilsener. With more malt character and less hop bitterness than a pilsener, our Helles is full flavored but crisp. Slightly lighter bodied than our Seven Sisters Münchner.

On draft at Prado location. Pours a clear golden yellow with a frothy white head. Nose is a nice grainy bit with some nice background hops. Flavor is a light-bodied and crisp helles that has some light background hops and nice malt sweetness followed by a slight lager yeast finish. Nice beer.

Out of this world! Crisp clean, subtle but present noble and piney hops. Crisp sweet malt than finishes dry. Pours an outstanding rich yellow. Excellent beer. I could drink this one for a long time.

smcolw (426) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - OCT 24, 2009
Gold color with a very mild haze--nearly clear. Modest head but leaves very good lace on the glass. Grainy smell of spent grains. There is a mild hop way in the background. This is very close to a lawn mower beer, but not quite. The flavor is light and grainy, like the smell, but the hop is a bit more pronounced. I imagine this is the right beer for the uninitiated to brew pubs. Of the flight I had, this was my personal least-favorite.

hotstuff (3340) - Indiana, USA - OCT 3, 2009
Tap at 5 Seasons Brewing Company. Poured a tan small head that mostly diminished, transparent body, visible carbonation, spotty amounts of lacing, and a golden hue. The aroma was bready, malty and sweet. The flavor was malty, sweet and thin tasting. Smooth mouthfeel and light bodied. Very easy to drink but lacks a lot of character and I was left unimpressed overall.
