2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light bodied pale Helles with a musty aroma. Thirst quencher but not much in the way of flavor. Maybe we can play beer drinking games with Hoffman Helles.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Appearance: movie theater butter, with a short, vanishing head. Aroma: light malty grains, some herbal and grassy hops. Taste: medium grains against herbal and piney hops, hint of grassy funk. Finish: light and crisp, with a lingering slight bitterness from the hops. Notes: While the bitter notes keep the mouth fresh, the overall palate is smooth. I prefer this with salty food.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Hazy, almost cloudy, pale gold with white head. Aroma/Flavor of mild bitter graininess and hoppiness. Refreshing but not as malty as a good helles can and should be.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught at Barcade, New York
Hazy blond color. It shows light Hallertauer aroma. Simple flavor, hay; it has correct bitterness. Boring.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft. Crystal clear apple juice body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, spicy, some orange, light straw. Taste is moderately sweet, perfume/flower, some spicy, light lemon, bread. Light-medium body. Too sweet.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This poured a darker golden color with a white head. Aroma was very noticable buttery diacetlye, and some grassy hops too. Flavor was much the same, lots of buttery toasted malts. Blah.
