Dec 9, 2009 Part of the Summer variety pack. Mushroom nose with a tart lemony edge. Clear yellow, thin white head. Sour malt flavor, bready, with a grassy finish. Fairly well balanced, and refreshing.

Nov 7, 2009 BOTTLE: Body light but not thin. Biscuity maltiness and consistent touch of hops bitterness start to finish.I,m not one to judge it as a Helles - but as a moderately priced beer it’s drinkable , refreshing, not bad at all. BUY AGAIN? In an assortment pack, yes.

Oct 9, 2009 12 oz bottle given to me by beastiefan2k. 1129 1404 stamped on neck of the bottle. Pour is clear golden with a firm 2 inch white head. Quite lasting, eventually falls with decent lace. Aroma of earthy toasted malt with a hint of straw floral. There is also a bit of cardboard which detracts. Taste is the nose, mineral earth toasted malt with the straw floral hop n the middle through to the dry finish. There is also a touch of honey sweetness that pokes out a bit. Hint of clove in the back of the finish, some very mild white pepper in the aftertaste. Palate is medium thin, easy to drink. Nice enough beer, thanks Eugene.

Oct 8, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is bready and slightly sweet with some hints of grass. Flavor begins with a dry hop and biscuit malt flavor, giving way to a lightly bitter and grassy middle. Finishes clean and crisp.

Oct 3, 2009 Mix 12 pack of summer beers, consumed in the fall, no biggie its Saranac. Pours with a small head and a lightly sticky lacing. Color is completely clear dark straw. Aroma has earthy hops coming out, nice enough but not strong. There is a nice enough white biscuit maltiness but also a light metallic part, not strong though. Flavor has a low level of bitterness underneath it all, a pretty good use of the noble hops. Plenty of lightly slick white bread malts. Got your basic Helles here, decent stuff and I could definitely drink this again.
12oz bottle, Free State Anniversary Willibecker glass.
