Anacortes Helles Festival Lager

Sublte oney and fruit notes in the nose. Grainy malty mouthfeel, with yeasty spiciness, and some light fruit flavors, with a hint of bitterness on the tail that follows all the way through the finish. Makes a decent food pairing beer.

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 8th, 2007. Thin, white dissipated head with a lightly carbonated body. Nose of banana and lemon mixed with bread. Very good.

Burnished gold colour. Light bready malt nose. Firm maltiness on the palate, with some earthiness and apple notes. Big malt signature. The slight graininess tips off the US origins of this but it’s a nice brew.
