| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 30, 2009 On tap at Harpoon Brewery, 8 October 2009. Pleased (and surprised) to find this still available on tap. Fairly dark gold for a helles. Soft malty aroma. Sweetish palate. Good depth. Lots of body for a Helles. Quite a lot of alcohol presence. Not too sticky. Not my favourite style but I liked this one.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2009 (bottle ( 22oz ). shared at October 2009 WaterlooWeekend. Clear amber-gold with a small frothy off-white head. Vegetal, weak aroma - stale oily grain and moderate alcohol. Taste - sweet, simple, a bit of a fruity tang, not much alcohol to it. Slick, light body, smooth, somewhat quick finish - tastes okay, it grew on me. jerc (3936), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Flavour of pale malts, light bitterness, odd toasty malt character. Average palate. Meh, adequate example of a style that I generally do not love. Shared by HogTownHarry
