You are correct brad. It is a fizzy yellow beer. It is a tasty fizzy yellow beer. Dark yellow pour with a white head. Clean grain flavor clean hop bite. Bit of lemon in the finish. Hay honey lemon smile.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Prost Brewing. Pours a clear golden straw color under a fluffy thick white head. Nose has a nice softness of honey-sweet pale malts, light biscuitiness, and light floral/grassy bitterness. Smooth and light carbonation and a medium palate, works out to a really refreshing brew on a sunny afternoon. Light grassy biscuity lager tones up front meet with some pale grain sweetness and a little honey tone, and some pils malts, and subtle hoppy spiciness. Smooth sweet finish, and overall really enjoyable.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Huge letdown for me after having the pils and dunkel. A sweet and overall tepid sort of helles. It still is refreshing.

Tap @ Prost. Pours a clear golden appearance with a white head. Lightly toasted grainy, straw, herbal aroma. Cracker, grassy, grainy, a bit earthy, pale macro lager-like flavor. Soft carbonation. Pretty clean but incredibly boring.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: OCT 14, 2012 draft. clear gold with a fine white head. sweet honey-focused malt in the nose with a mildly green wet hop note and minerals, chalk and fatty acids becoming more apparent as it opens and warms. the banana esters which also grow seem curiously out of place for German helles, but I’ve found the same aroma in a lot of poorly-made helles, usually the kind you find in bottles at corner convenience stores in Germany. these waxy tropical fruit esters and fatty acids combine with the graininess of the malt to give it an unpleasant stewed meat character, something I also find in the Prost dunkelweizen and pils. the high points here are the mostly soft carbonation and the firm malt texture, but otherwise it has some smell and flavor issues.
