| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2004 Light golden with a small, white head. Aroma very yeasty/bready. Flavor also bready, with some clean, pleasant malts, and a very light hop hit for the finish. Very clean and light, yet full, with just-right, medium carbonation. Not mindblowing compared to other styles, but within the style this is solid. cfranz (261), Acton, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2004 Medium bodied - full golden colour with a decent head. Crisp flavor - light aftertaste, light bitter & light hoppy. Very smoothly textured beer. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2004 2004 bottle. Pours a bright yellow, with deep gold hues and a foamy white head. Aroma of lightly sour yeast and corn notes, with hints of earthy, hearty hops and rich white bread (unbleached flour). Flavor has hints of bitterness throughout but is mostly full of creamy, honey and dough-like malty sweetness. Good medium to medium full body, but still alot of attenuation making this seem like you are drinking a bigger beer. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 3, 2004 Smells malty, bready, sweet. Pours gold with decent lasting head. Tastes about that same, roasted slightly, seems to be all malt taste to me, slight hops hints though. Pretty good, reminded me of Sam Adams for some reason. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA

Beautiful deep gold colored clear beer that holds up a long lasting frothy white head.
The aroma is right on the money, mildly sweet malt, with a nice noble hop background.
The flavor is crisp, very well balanced with a proper amount of bitterness. Very enjoyable Helles. PBOYNY (316), Westchester, New York, USA

Light, clear amber color. Light carbonation and light bodied. Lightly hopped mixed with some malt. Not a lot bitterness, seems watery, some sweetness.
