22 ounce bottle shared by Allstar and Immy’s Backyard Throwdown. Thanks Tony! Pours a light amber color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of big grassy hops with sweet honeyish malts. Bitter grassy hops taste with sweet malts. Medium bodied. Damn good.

On tap at FFF, it poured a light red with a small head. Had a sweet banana bread taste to it. Very good beer and one I will drink again.

Thanks to hopshunter for the share. Pours red-yellow with a white head. Nose is malt, corn, lager, and some banana bread. Flavor is bread, biscuit, banana, sweetness, and some mild bitterness. A bit thick for a helles, but enjoyable.

bottle thanks to markus. Pours murky gold, minimal head. Aroma of yeasts and malts. German yeasts really come through in the flavor. Smooth and thinnish on the palate. Good german style brew.

Bottle courtesy of cexshun. Poured a light, hazy straw color with a thin white head. Nose is pale malt with herbal hops, some fruit (apple) is also present and touches of bread. Mouthfeel is somewhat thin and watery with lively carbonation. Flavor is mildly sweet with notes of grass, grain, corn and other vegetal tones. Mildly sweet grassy finish. Strange Helles, normal for 3 Floyds.

22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a slightly hazy dark golden color with a medium sized disappearing white head. The aroma is orange infused wheat bread slightly toasted with a slight splash of honey. The flavor was more wheat bread, orange citrus, slightly sweet and on the dry side with light bitterness. Very drinkable on a warmer day I would imagine. Medium bodied and smooth.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed, orange-gold body with a medium-sized, white head. Smell: Lightly toasted malts, some hearty pils malt, and sweetish whiffs of honey and fruit. Taste: Faintly toasted and pilsner malts with just a touch of sweet honey and slight grainy dough taste. Some apple and golden raisin fruitiness. Light, spicy Noble hop flavor and imparted bitterness. Smooth, drying finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Drinkability: A pleasant, surprisingly authentic helles. Pass the knockwurst and hot German potato salad, please!
