Commercial Description:
"Helles" is German for "Pale" and refers to a beer's color, usually indicating a beautiful pale gold color. Using all imported German and Pilsner malts and Northern Brewer, Hallertau, and Tettnang hops, we consider this golden, malt accented lager to be "angelic" in its level of taste; a perfectly balanced Lager. After its primary fermantation, we gradually lower the temperature of the beer to near freezing during the secondary storage to create a smooth, thirst quenching beer. The subtle yet heavenly hop aroma and flavor lends itself to be an easy, good drinking beer. And as Benjamin Franklin said... "There can't be good living where there is not good drinking."

From the bottle, pours a clear, pale golden color with a bubble white head that stays around the edges. Smells like bad grass and bad blueberries. Very carbonated and bubbly on the tongue. I can’t quite put a finger on the taste, but it’s lightly fruity, lightly floral. Whatever the bland taste, it isn’t bad.

12 oz bottle for $3 from D’s in Regent Square. On the front it says pale golden lager but this does not describe the unfiltered glory contained within. This stuff pours like a quality unfiltered wheat beer, with gunk on the bottom and all. What a swirling light brownish show. Beautiful attractive sweet aroma. The girl on the front is definitely german and she looks like my wife. The aroma of this is hardtack candy sweet, like sweet fruity candy canes. Wow, has a really good flavor impact. This lends itself to a slight bitterness on the finish of each swig. However, it does not build, it is mild and controlled. Unlike many beers, who’s aroma does not match the flavor, this does. I really like this brew, a brew that I was not particularly interested in buying! Never judge a book by it’s cover. Almost as good as Lowenbrau, possibly better because of the appearance. Would not hesitate to buy again. Way better than Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold and Victory V Lager.

bottle. Pale golden, with a thick white head. Malty aroma with wheat and orange zest. Fairly sweet, bready, yeasty, with mild hops. Malty finish. Refreshing, but otherwise nothing special.

Gusher. Peach color, with white head. Aroma is citrus, pale malts, a bit sour... skunked? Taste is cardboard, and off, light caramel, and honey.
