Commercial Description:
Inspired by the Patron Saint of Beer, Hildegard Helles is a golden lager with a light malty character and subtle hops flavor. This progressive thinking abbess, musician, and botantist and the first person to integrate hops into beer, caused us to proclaim "Drinking beer ain't a sin".

On tap at the brewery. Literally piss yellow colored. Sweet pils/candy aroma. Slight pils taste that is dominated by the taste of pool water (did they use chlorinated water or what???). Disgusting.

(Sampled 7-14-08 at brewery) Light carbonation, transparent very pale yellow in appearance, a grass/alfalfa aroma. Hits the mouth with a light body, malt is very pleasant, mild sweetness in the middle, finish has good hop bite.

Had on tap at the Rudyard Kipling in Louisville. It was in a plastic cup unfortunately, but it looked to be straw colored with a medium head. Taste was malty like a helles should be, with a slight crisp hop finish. Overall a decent drink that is very easy to down.

Pours very light golden with full carbonation. Aroma is cooked veggies, bread dough, corn, and toasted maltiness. Taste is crisp, lightly malty, some breadiness, and a bit of graininess. Mouthfeel is light bodied with lush carbonation. This beer strives to have very little taste and it comes pretty close.

Draft at brewpub. Poured a straw color with an average white head that diminished slowly. Moderate sweet hoppy aroma. Light body. Small balanced hoppy flavor with a small bitter finish.

Draft - a medium gold color with a thin white head. Some malt and a touch of spicy hop in the aroma. Spicy hops up front and a bit of honey in the sweet finish. Light and very drinkable.
