Dec 18, 2009 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Vibrant amber, a little fiery, clear, lively carbonation, minor head, a few rings of lacing. A little deeper in color than I expected, but that’s coo. Big straw nose, slight malty sweetness. Sweet grassiness on the tongue. Very crisp and clean. Seems a little bigger, flavorful, and more robust than most. It is a welcomed change. Heavy grassiness on the finish, but also very sweet. Very slight corn tortilla on the finish. Good, a little heavier and dark for the style. Decent one, a little change up that is welcomed. Not your average light Helles. Know that!

Sep 4, 2009 Golden orange-yellow with a white head and fine bubbles. Aroma is minimal with light grass and a hint of caramel. Flavor is also very restrained with some mild roasted tones and a bit more spicy bitter hops in the finish than the kolsch. This helles is crisp, refreshing and subtle.

Aug 14, 2009 Draft at Naked City. Alright, dammit. I can’t taste a thing in this beer. I mean, not a thing. OK, calm down. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow, modest little white head showing. A bit of carb rising from the bottom. Not much, though. The nose is vacant, the mid-palate is vacant, and the finish is vacant. My palate was not shot, and I was a-quaffin’ it like the old days. This one is just too mild even for me, despite the fact that this has been my summer of session beers, and to no small extent that’s thanks to Chuckanut’s excellent draft lineup. A perfectly made beer that unfortunately had the flavor surgically removed somewhere along the way.

Jul 29, 2009 Tap on a hot day at Fiddler’s Inn.
I’m not hugely experienced with the style, but this one seemed to be crafted with care, a very well done if somewhat subtle beer. The expected bready flavors, more malty than yeasty of course, a subtle bitter crispness underneath the caramel to finish it off very nicely. Well done!
