Tasting - Perfect Pour. Bright gold, creamy white head. Soft floral bready aromas warm to hints of peppery hops. Flavor follows suit with a nice balance of floral breads and hints of peppery grassy earth. Light bodied, medium carbonation, soft bitter finish. Not special, but extremely drinkable...

12oz brown bottle Total Wine. Light pale malt aroma with some citrus. Slightly cloudy light straw with fine white head. Grainy light malt flavor with touch of spicey hops. Light body with clean dry finish with a bit of bitterness lingering. Nice clean light lager.

Good authentic German Helles, it delivers as a well made lager. Crisp, grassy aroma that is lightly sweetened and backed by fresh noble hops. Clear golden, straw yellow pour with a fluffy, bright white head and thick lacing. Mouth feel is airy and crisp. Very fresh with a nice hop bitterness. Grainy, pale malt, light bodied. Peppery-grassy hops, fairly prominent in the flavor. Great summer quencher, an everyday lager.

Bottle. Pours a mildly cloudy gold color with healthy white head. Has a light hop aroma and taste, a little lemon essence as well. Not my favorite style, but its drinkable.
