Draft at the ’nut. Super fresh, just went on today I’m told. Pours a vibrant clear golden straw yellow. Small yet tight white head with faint lacing. Nice light corny sweetness, doughy pils malt and bright grassy Nobel hops on the end. Balanced sweet corn, pils malt, doughy bread, fresh hay, clean grassy hops. Super clean and crisp...another please.

Tap on a hot day at Fiddler’s Inn.
I’m not hugely experienced with the style, but this one seemed to be crafted with care, a very well done if somewhat subtle beer. The expected bready flavors, more malty than yeasty of course, a subtle bitter crispness underneath the caramel to finish it off very nicely. Well done!

Nose is nice and malty, bready, solid medium sweetness, light earth and maybe grass. Pale golden pour, thin head. Flavors of bready malts, sweet cookie dough perhaps, earthy bitterness in finish. Nice beer, super drinkable. Malty and enjoyable.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Vibrant amber, a little fiery, clear, lively carbonation, minor head, a few rings of lacing. A little deeper in color than I expected, but that’s coo. Big straw nose, slight malty sweetness. Sweet grassiness on the tongue. Very crisp and clean. Seems a little bigger, flavorful, and more robust than most. It is a welcomed change. Heavy grassiness on the finish, but also very sweet. Very slight corn tortilla on the finish. Good, a little heavier and dark for the style. Decent one, a little change up that is welcomed. Not your average light Helles. Know that!
