blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 26, 2008 Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a clear pale gold with a spare diminishing fluffy white head, Aroma of toasted caramel, bread and grain. Flavour of slightly burnt caramel, bready malt and grassy hops. Light to medium bodied. Another winner from the brewery, I’ve never had a bad or boring beer from them. tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 25, 2008 Bottle shared with Greg Clow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of Greg. Light yellow, small frothy white head. Slightly funky, grainy aroma. Nice taste - full flavoured, almost sweet, some hops, very refreshing. Another good one from these guys. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 11, 2008 2008-06-11. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. Sweet floral hops, light grass. Similar noble hop in the flavour, grass and straw over a pale malt base. (6+) Pretty decent example of the style, but not to my taste.

Brewsmith (136), Torrance, California, USA Jun 11, 2008 From 0.5L bottle purchased locally. Aroma is grainy and a slight hint of floral, spicy hops. Color is a straw yellow that is crystal clear with a half inch fluffy white head. Flavor is malty, bready and delicate. A little bitterness, but only to balance. Light, refreshing, smooth and a clean, dry finish. A classic of the Helles style. pojo41 (315), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Poured a brilliant straw color. Nice fluffy white head that dissipated rather quickly. Clean aroma of malt.
Clean, crisp malt flavor with just enough hop bitterness to balance things out. A good clean German lager suitable for everyday drinking. zappafan99 (462), Ascension Island May 28, 2008 Golden color. Sweet malt aroma. Very clean and crisp. Dry finish. Very simple. Baadstorp (55), Århus, Denmark May 26, 2008 a good beer but nothing more. nice bitterness and hop flavour. nice clear yellow color MelbBrewersJD (32), Australia May 26, 2008 Not an overly interesting beer.
