No nose at all. God. Is a bit creamy, has a few hops at the end with decent bitterness.

On tap at Dominion brew fest. Pours a light golden copper. Aroma is malty and lightly grassy. Taste is light and refreshing. Grainy with good malt backing and some light hops at the end. Mouthfeel is appropriate for a Helles. Slightly sweet aftertaste. Nice brew.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours gold, with decent head and lacing. Aroma of malt, hops, citrus, and some honey. Tastes spicy, malty, with a finish of hops, honey, and chardonnay-like tastes. Somewhat light on the palate. A very good lager.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
The golden-yellow appareance, with a light thin head, made me reluctant to try this brew. Still, the aroma was light and sweet, and I put my lips to it. Spicy and crisp, it is an excellent representation of the style. Not the best style, mind you, but if you want Helles, try this.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy copper/bronze. Taste is too fruity - a common fault I am finding with many American lagers. Not lagering long enough? Light hops, good body. Not an unpleasant beer, just not what I am looking for.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Yellow-orange with no head whatsoever. Sweet aroma. Average body with no real distinctive feel. Kinda candy-malt flavors. Just OK.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Much better than I expected. I really thought this beer was going to suck. Poured a light gold with a decent white head. Aroma was fairly malty and hopped. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Slight hops on the tongue. For what it was it was good. Nothing outstanding, but very straight forward. A good session brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light to medium golden body with a decent white head. Aroma of hay and cut grass, gentle. Slightly sweet in the mouth with a taste of light malts and very gentle grassy hops. Not complicated, but enjoyable and well done.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Color is a lighter golden yellow with a tall fluffy off-white head that fades fast, lace in minimal spots and webs. Smell has a nice clean herbal, mineral-like hops with a touch of fruity pebbles, good German nose, just a bit to light though. Taste is a nice crisp and clean hop, soem dried variants with nice little herbal hints and some notes of minerals, malts are lightly breadish with a sourdough-like quality. Feel is light, close to medium, super clean and very smooth, quick crispness at first with lightly dry breadish souring finish thats nice. A pretty good Helles, easy, clean, crisp, and drinkable.
