This was a good, highly available beer. Didn’t realize it wasn’t available anymore. Smooth and balanced with a clear golden appearance. Slightly hoppier than most Helles, but that is probably what made it good.

Bottle on sale. Lager glass. Light malts, and very light hops. Smells like a light Helles. Sweet taste, a little sweeter than I expected. What is up with this brewery is every beer supposed to be a little sweet. Like someone poured a sugar packet in each beer. Lite hoppy notes and those are very light. Lots of carbonation. Once again Petes wicked releases a boring and overly sweet beer.

12 oz bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour, thin white head. Sweet, fresh grainy aroma, pale malt, slightly worty with touches of honey sweetness. A bit too sweet actually, but otherwise quite good. Toasty finish with a kiss of noble hop flavour.

Pours a clear golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and a touch of flowers. Flavor is kinda sweet to start, citrusy finish with some hop notes.
