Sep 7, 2004 Nice grassy and floral aroma. Maybe I had an out of date bottle but I missed out on the bready/fruity flavor and the follow was a little sour. I need to try this one again to be certain.

Aug 29, 2004 Smells of clove and grasses. Looks decent- cloudy light yellow with a white bubbly head. Taste is grassy and coppery, finishing bitter and kinda unpleasant.

Aug 29, 2004 Updated: Feb 1, 2005Bright maize in color with ample rocky white head. Fantastic head retention, and malty nose portends a well-made brew. Clean and crisp, this beer is dominated by classic German malt character with hops adding a crisp zing. Eminently balanced, this is a quenching bready brew with a dry finish.

Aug 27, 2004 Slight malty odor, pleasant but subdued. Golden color in the glass, with a foamy head that disappeared leaving lots of lacing.
This had a lot of flavor for the style, malt and yeast at the front, with a good hop finish.

Aug 25, 2004 Aroma is rich and somewhat sweet. Pours golden with a white head that dissipates quickly. The flavor is somewhat sweet and spicy--far more complex than one would expect from a beer this pale. The body is medium with a good amount of carbonation. Finish is smooth and indistinct.

Aug 23, 2004 Updated: Nov 27, 2007Bottle at Parrish Cafe, Boston. Pours an average golden yellow, very bubbly, smaller than expected head, quite clear. Aroma seems promising, lots of thick white bread, crusty and lightly sweet (honey, light toffee). Plenty of mildly spicy hops and a hint of earthiness with bitter touches. Flavor however, starts out lightly sweet (table sugar, light lemon drop cookies) with some bubbly texture from the vast carbonation. Hops are not bitter, but provide a sweet, light apple flavor along with a touch of boring grassy flavors. It never really came together for me, staying too sweet, with a strange thickly sweet palate. It ends on a lightly bitter, lightly sour, meaty/appley note. It wasnt terrible, but it thinned as it warmed and just didnt have any qualities I really enjoy about this style. Especially, this wansnt crisp and powerfully flavorful. No subtleties as well.

Aug 15, 2004 From a bottle - With a fine white head and amber-esque hue, the fresh, clean taste of this Helles (with a hoppy, complex finish) marks it as a good example of the style.
