Draft. Clear golden yellow color, medium white head. Aroma of white pepper and fresh hay. Taste is peppery straw. Easy drinking.
Draught @ Ginger Ma. Bright and clear yellow with large off-white creamy head, honey aroma, high carbonation, delicious honey taste, abrupt finish. Very good Helles!
Clear gold with a short, white head. Scent is grain, malt. Taste is mild and grassy. Very smooth, simple. A nice tasting little beer.
12 ounce bottle into pilsener glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly clear golden straw color with a nice 1-2 finger dense fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pear, grape, apple, pepper, bread, herbal, floral, grass, and earthy spiciness. Damn nice aromas with good strength, balance, and complexity. Taste of cracker, bready grain, apple, pear, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, light clove, and earthy spiciness. Lightly tart earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of bread, light fruits, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and earthy spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Nice amount of flavors with good balance; zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with almost zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very excellent Helles lager! Nice amount of flavors with good balance; extremely smooth and crisp to drink. A highly enjoyable offering as expected.
Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 4/27/09
Aroma: Grainy, Light fruit notes, touch of citrus - overall a pretty light nose
Appearance: Clear gold color, medium white head head
Flavor: Light malty flavor, a little sweetness, just a touch of hops bitterness in the finish
Palate: Light body, smooth easy drink
Overall Impression: This beer is nothing special, it's a mildly interesting Lager, but it certainly isn't something you should go out of your way to get your hands on.
