Clear golden color, very little head retention; nose somewhat sweet and wheaty. Flavor, while not exciting, is rather refreshing and well-balanced; enough hops and herbal notes to keep it light, enough malt to give it a little depth. A bit better than the last couple of Pete’s products I just rated; more of a Spring beer I guess.

This stuff was bland bland bland. Very mild yeasty aroma, with close to no taste. Tried it once, but not again.

Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cereal, light bread), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs), with a note of DMS. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Just gotta love that DMS stench. Sugary sweet. Half-step above macro.

A decent Helles, with a malty/hoppy/citursy aroma. Finishes fairly crisp and smooth. Not bad.
