Bottle poured into a pint glass produced a good two fingers worth of white head on top of a clear golden body
Aromas of bread malts and light hops filled my nose average smelling
Sweet tasting lager for sure not too much hops present in the flavor I did like the taste of this one
Very drinkable nice and light in the mouth with a good bit of carbonation .I could easily kick back a few of these

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 1, 2008 12 oz, bb 2107FX. Orange-gold with a large head that dissipates quickly to a lasting spit. Aroma is orange-lemon and honey. Flavor is orange-lemon, honey, some grain, and a tart citrus and herb note on the finish. A tad larger-than-light body is slightly tingly, and crisply dry on the finish. Looks like I just bought last summer’s batch, so not a very good example of a Helles, but it’s turned into a flavorful lager with some Belgian yeast-like notes. cale422 (25), Timmonsville, South Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Very light and super clear light straw color. Extreme light body and a good summer thirst quencher. jb (1052), Rochester, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Didn’t detect much aroma, malt. Appearance is not noteworthy palate is nutty, very malty, with hops coming in. Really tasty! RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 8, 2008 Cloudy gold with a huge, monstrous rocky white head. Malty, slightly sour aroma with a touch of piney hops. Flavor is bittersweet and malty with a rather large dose of hops for a lager. A little on the sour side ... not an easy drink.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 26, 2008 Piney aroma, but more woody. Hazy golden with a few floaties and no head. Despite the label’s purity law claim, I taste mainly corn. Clover honey sets it off. Respectable helles. PorterPounder (3143), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Florence, South Carolina, 12 oz bottle - Harris Teeter Grocery store. Murky dark golden pour, tight white head. Bit of a tired aroma, hint of lemon in there to bring it a hint of life. Flavor has a touch of lemon, some malty toasted cereal notes and a touch of butter. Slightly dry mouthfeel. Not exactly memorable. Palidor19 (1780), Brandon, Florida, USA
