COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Hell’s Half Mile is a German style Helles Lager that is pale gold with a creamy white head. Helles is German for bright. Hell’s Half Mile has an appealing grainy aroma with a slightly sweet malty flavor yet perfectly balanced with traditional noble hop characteristics. Don’t let the light color fool you! This full bodied beer is complex and refreshing!

Normally, this would get a better rating, but I’m not much of a lager fan. And I can’t give this as high of a rating as my favorite style of beers (dark ales - stouts). I normally drink Molson Canadian for an "at the bar go to" beer. This was much more full flavored than any typical bar lager. Not a great beer, but would definitely accept if offered to me.

Bottle. Hay, cherry/apple, and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with large white head. Sweet honey/apple and barley malt flavor. Medium body. Okay - fruity.

A nice session beer well balanced and pleasing. Much better served in a glass than straight out of the bottle, resist the urge to skip this step. Once this beer breathes and warms a little it mellows significantly and becomes tremendous.

This is a great example of a Helles Lager. Great beer to introduce people to craft beer.

Slight biscuity/grainy aroma. Dark golden color with nice head and carbonation. Slight biscuity taste with just a slight hop presence. Great all around drinking beer.

Love this beer. One of the best lagers I have ever had. Crisp and clean, yet very full bodied. I will look for this again.

Hazy gold with a short, off-white head. Light fruit, sour grain malt aroma. Taste is rather tart fruit, apple, slightly acidic. Very crisp and carbonated, increasing tart/sour. Not bad.

bottle - Pours hazy yellow-gold with a small white head. It has a mild cereal malt aroma. The flavor is moderately sweet and very straightforward. It’s light bodied and refreshing. Decent.
