Im not sure why I buy this style. I just dont like them. Has a nice nice clean taste at first but finishes with a macro/pilsner malt hay breadyness that is off putting to me. Kinda bad.

Mild grass aroma. Straw yellow with a faint haze that’s topped off with a pillow head. Mild sourness with equal amount of mild fruitiness. Very carbonated which adds to a refreshing feeling.Mixed soft, sour and dry finish.
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Nik925 (584) - California, USA - DEC 6, 2011
Third beer tried of this style and third top 50 of in this style (this being the highest ranked of the three). The head and lacing look great, the beer looks like, "used beer". Shockingly nice tastes hidden in here. Dried fruits and spices linger in the flavor - not in the aroma or appearance. Palate is better than expected. About what it should be - a great version of a lesser beer style.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20 poisoneddwarf (882) - Rathdrum, Idaho, USA - DEC 4, 2011
16.9 oz bottle. Rated this last night on paper. Pours pale gold with a large white lacy head with decent retention. Aroma is grassy, creamed corn blandness. Taste starts out lightly sweet before settling into a dry light bitterness. Has an extreme grassy flavor, something I don’t care for at all in a beer. Carbonation is average, body light. Not a fan at all of the Helles style. AFTERTHOUGHTS: beer got much more interesting after it warmed up. A nice clove character came out in both aroma and flavor, raising the total score from a 1.4 to a 2.1.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 brenn79 (859) - Idaho, USA - DEC 3, 2011
16.9 oz. bottle- Pours pale golden with a nice head and good lacework, the aroma is grainy up front, followed by a nice floral aroma, clove and pepper also come through. The taste is floral, citrusy, alcohol, not bad. Body is medium, carbonation is medium. Not a bad beer, not my favorite style still.

500ml bottle in a lager glass. Pours golden with a fluffy, white head. Aroma of pale malts and floral and slightly bitter hops. Flavor about the same. A little lighter on the texture. A decent German beer.
