Gorgeous looking brilliant light gold body with lots of fluffy, pillowy foam and excellent retention. Immaculate clarity.
Aroma is a bit unrefined with a definite cooked corn (DMS) vegetal thing going on amidst some bready malt undertones. It's odd that SN would let that happen, but the BJCP allows a little bit. No real hop aroma.
A bready, malt-forward, easy-drinking bock with only a touch of hops to balance. The cooked corn is still present but not overly offensive. Some light toasty melanoidin character. A dry pilsner sweetness on the finish. Peppery hop character.
What I love about this beer is the subtle alcohol warmth that creeps up as you quickly make your way through such a drinkable beer. I'm afraid many of the negative commentors aren't privy to what makes a good helles bock. There isn't much hop character because there shouldn't be. This beer is everything it should be, except for being a little heavy on the DMS. Otherwise, clean, smooth, highly quaffable, well-constructed.

This is a real pretty beer, both when being made and the final product. Dark yellow, big 1" head white. The aroma is pretty neutral.
Taste still leans hoppy for style true to form for Sierra Nevada, this one drops plenty of wheat and barley, lemon like feels. Lots of pleasantries for someone who doesn't like the over bittering hopping, this one has it above average for style, but stays in check otherwise. Definite breadiness. Hearty carbonation. Has a dry and almost chalk like finish after a full mouthfeel gamut of bread feels.
