2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
My first Helles as per Ratebeer To be honest most of these styles - Helles Dortmunder Pilsners - seem like minor variations from the pale lager The appearance is straw gold decent white head, again like the pale lager The aroma is different - much more malty slightly fruity The flavor is again mostly malty grainy Small but noticeable hop signature on the end Enduring bitter finish Not bad at all

(Bottle). Sweet malty caramel aroma. Amber body, off-white head. Malt and caramel flavor, a bit of butterscotch. Interesting, though not overly appealing.

Enjoyed on-tap as a guest tap at The Mad Brewer. Good carbonation, hops. Light yellow colour with lace. Decent enough lager for the summer. Neutral aroma, average mouthfeel. A bit drying in the finish, it’s still a nice one for Summer.

Stoudt’s Gold Lager is widely recognized as one of the finest German-style beers brewed in America. I don’t think so. Only 150 of Michael Jackson’s 500 Classic Beers to go.

12 oz, bb 06-23-08. Effervescent, clear and shiny orange-gold with a lasting one-finger head. Sheets of fine lacing. Fresh herb-hop and citrus on top of honey and grain aromas. Smooth, balanced blend of flavors includes grain, honey, green herbs, a touch of lemongrass, and hints of caramel apple. Medium body is soft with a crisp dry finish, but a little too fizzy at times.

Bottle. Poured a pale yellow/orange with a tiny head that is easily crushable. Fruity aroma with a wink of hops which does not really present itself in the flavor delivery. Finishes gradually and cleanly. Good

Draught at Brewery: Aroma of Pils malts and Hellertau hops. Poured gold in color with a small white head. Clear. Sparkling. Small lacing. Tastes of hops, Hellertau, malts, and vegetables. Light to medium body. Average texture. Soft carbonation. Vegetable finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear pale to medium gold with a initial white fine varied bubbled head that collapses to a sparse cover and ring, pilsner malt and bread aromas with some malt sweetness, grass hops fragrances, flavors same as the aromas, has a less then medium bitterness at the finish and is mostly dry at the end, very light in color, looks like a Pale Lager, has a light malt taste but more so then a pale lager, nice drink.
