I don’t know what to say, not much to this beer. For what it’s meant to be I guess it does a pretty good job being it, this style just leaves me rather flaccid. I guess one after a hot afternoon of yardwork might be the right trajectory, but as a beer-lover’s beer, this one, perhaps this style just misses it.

Golden color with a thin white head. Bready and very carbonated. Nice lager though.

Pale orange color, very carbonated with a sweet, bready aroma. Smooth and crisp, with light grainy, fruity flavors. Clean, dry finish. Pretty safe Helles, easy drinking yet interesting enough to draw you back. Sampled at Hofbrauhaus in Munich and also bottled at home.

Bottle at home. Really tasty, with the customary German blast of hops and malt. Nice thick, lasting foam.

Poured from bottle. I assumed this was a pilsener and while I noticed the hops, it’s a lot less bitter than expected. Has a nice balance and finishes well. A good one for a hot, summer day.

From a twelve ounce green (YIPES!) bpttle purchased at the Western Hills Krogers - This one pours a golden (not orange, Stueyd), effervescent brew with a tall, quickly diminishing white head and a bready aroma with slight citrus note. Well, this is pretty much just another Eurolager to me, albiet a good one... NOW GET RID OF THE FREAKING GREEN BOTTLES!
