Atwater Hell

Brewed by Atwater Block Brewery
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Detroit, Michigan USA

Draft sample at MBGF. Clear amber with a moderate frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light grainy citrus aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of short duration.

This had the dark straw look and medium lasting head I expect from a Helles. It had the adequate bready malt taste and slightly honey citrus hops effect going, with a touch of orange. Very good for the warm months.

from the bottle. poured a hazey dark wheat with no head just a small white ring. aroma some malts, honey and light orange and some other sweet fruits. flavor tangeraine with a splash of orange on it than some orange zest qwith a little lemon zing at the finish. I think this is the best pale lager I have had. good lawn mowing beer since I just finished mowing the lawn.

Lightly hazy straw-colored body, thin/medium off-white head. Light aroma, slight sweetness (corny), bread, grassy hops and light diacetyl. Bready, grassy body, rather thin, with a touch of sweetness and a hint of butter. Drinkable.

Draft @ Tap Room. Pours a clear gold color with very small fizzy head. Nose is something sweet, honey maybe?> but I want to say apricots or tangerines. taste is thin, semi malty, a light fruit haze in the mouth and a smooth finish.

bottle. extremely pale yellow in color with a fizzy white quickly fading head. flavor is of straw, spice and maybe a bit of honey. way too much carbonation.

Straw color on the pour and a white carbonated head that disappears quickly. The aroma is slightly of honey but mostly of straw. The flavor has some sort of spice in it but I can mostly only taste the carbonation. Not one that I’m going to buy in the future. It is budweiser in a fancier bottle.

Middle of the road lager...very drinkable. A little thin and watery mouthfeel. Could use a kick in the ass, hop-wise, but OK, I guess. I’d like to see a little more crisp finish in this style.
