Weeping Radish Corolla Gold Helles Lager

Brewed by Weeping Radish Farm Brewery
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Jarvisburg, North Carolina USA

Clear pale yellow, under a blooming milky white head. Aroma: corny-sweet, but overall dull. Clean. Smooth, and sweet entry on the palate, slips easily past the lips. Pleasant, but lacking flavor. A tiny bit buttery and sweet, and more often than not, forgettable, nothing really remains, finish is limpid and wan. Turns sourish on the tongue halfway through, an attribute I rarely admire. Two words sum it best, really:ho hum.

Bottle. Brassy gold color of vitamin piss, clear enough to read through. Small head but lively carbonation. Little gritty things in the bottom of my glass and in the bottle. Nose of bready malt, wet grain, and a little too much sulphur. Chewy malt, Pepperidge Farms white bread with a sweet-tart edge, just a whisper of hops. Nice silky viscosity. Decent helles.

Gold in color with a small head.....sweet aroma. light beer with a decent bitter finish. Good but not exceptional beer

(12 oz bottle, obtained in trade, thanks Jason!) Somewhat malty, quite yeasty, and lightly sweet initially with a moderate bitterness that gets stronger in the finish; The fruity, yeasty flavor continues into the finish as well, and is joined by a vague apple flavor; Light hops and sweet, but tart apples in the nose; Light to medium bodied, nothing special on the palate; Medium gold in color; Massive eruption for a head when poured results in a glass filled with very large, but short-lived off-white bubbles; A fair amount of chunky sediment is circulated throughout the glass by a hearty supply of large carbonation bubbles which also keep the dirty head to about a quarter-inch in thickness; Very little in the way of lacing

Pours gold with a large thick head. Clear body, finely carbonated. The aroma is clean and invitingly malty with yeast in the background. Malty and smooth on the tongue with a slightly bitter hop finish. Very refreshing, pleasant Helles.

[draft - The Black Pelican - Kitty Hawk, NC] Poured a pale and clear gold reminiscent of a pilsener with a thin white head and lots of carbonation. Bitter hop and slight malt aroma. Initial taste was a malty flavor with a slight hint of citrus and a hoppy finish. Refreshing to drink and a nice smooth finish.

Bottle. Pours deep gold woth good head and lace. Aroma of malt, hops, slight citrus. Tastes malty, with some citrus and honey at its smooth finish.

Small, fizzy head. Pale, golden see through. Light maltiness in aroma. Grainy flavor--like a pilsener, but not as much bitteress. In fact it has a really nice smooth flavor. Drinkable, and slightly tasty.
