4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Pours clear golden with a sizable white head. Smells of mild toffee or biscuit with some spicy hops. Taste is mild sweet and mild spicy bitter. Light-bodied with a slick texture and average mouth-carbonation, Schlafly Summer Lager Helles finishes clean.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a very pale straw yellow with a fizzy half finger white head that quickly fades away to nearly nothing. No lacing at all although there is fairly abundant carbonation.
Aroma is very biscuity with caramel undertones. Lots of grassy hops and hay dominate the nose. Quite nice.
A quick shot of biscuit and caramel in the flavor with spicy, grassy hops quickly following. It is a very nice interplay for a short period of time before everything just sort of fades away into nothing. Mouthfeel is quite watery but is refreshing.
Overall, a decent beer although the flavors are quite fleeting. I only wish they would hang around longer. Something I would consider picking up again, though.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Not a bad brew at all, but not as strong in the lemon flavor as I'd prefer. Not something is really classify as a "summer" brew.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle from Party Source. Bottled with love on 3/26. Mostly clear golden yellow color. Minimal thin bubbly white head, that fades to nothing. Medium body. Crisp, lighter carbonation. Lightly citrusy aroma. Light breadiness. Light tart, light sweet taste. OK helles. Not sure how I feel about the citrus factor

Tap - small foamy head, medium straw color, crisp light malt aroma and flavor with fair balanced hop character, definitely refreshing, will be good for the upcoming summer

April 16, 2013 - tap at Bridge. Clear yellow pour with some head that faded quickly. Malt and grain in the aroma and taste. Crisp and refreshing, and more body than I expected.
