Either way, "Hella Good" to me does not mean "bitter, olive aftertaste" drjay44 (775), Salida, Colorado, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2008 So I’m not generally a huge fan of the brewery...and wasn’t a huge fan of LTD 01...but I really did think this was an enjoyable beer. Clean 14 karat brew with solid 1-inch head that left ample lacing. Aroma of citrus, yeast, and caramel. Taste includes a touch of honey sweetness but exhibits grassy/citrus notes as well. Tasty, refreshing, impressive. hellbilly (1515), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2008 pours a clear honey color with a light tan head. smells largely of yeast with notes of orange, warm spiciness, caramel-y grain and grass. a bit too malt/sweet on the palate for what the flavor offers in return... awful lot like the aroma. yeasty, caramel grain and a clean dry spiced finish. medium to fuller bodied from the residuals and quite buttery. easy drinking for sure but a bit boring.

A vigorous pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces an initially four-finger thick, frothy, light tan colored head. The beer is a clear, rich amber hue that shows a perfectly clear, brilliant copper hue when held up to the light. The aroma smells of spicy hops and grassy / cracker like malt. It is quite clean overall, with the malt playing perhaps the more prominent role.
Soft, buttery malt flavors & textures are offset a bit by a light carbonation and a spicy hop character that couples with a light bitterness. This has quite a bit more body and malt sweetness than I might have guessed from the fairly muted aroma. The flavors that are here though are not much of a departure from the aromas, they just have the volume turned up a bit more. This is definitely still pretty easy drinking; quite clean, with out a whole lot to contemplate so it is quite easy to quaff. The hops contribute a light spiciness as well as a touch of lemon zest flavors and a bit of grassiness in about that order of intensity too (first being the most).
I am not too sure about this one, it is clearly a well made, very clean Lager, but it just doesn’t quite seem able to hold my interest.
