Got this in the 12 oz brown bottle.
The appearance of this beer is attractive..nice darkish golden colour to the beer..with a clean white head that disapates to some lacing.
The smell for me was pretty run of the mill lager..though I may be coming down with a cold!
I like the taste of this beer..has big hoppy taste above the malt..i like this.
This beer feels good and smooth on the palate only the back of the throat getting "hit"
All in all a good solid Helles...surprisinglly its getting better as it gets hotter! strange indeed

Easily the best lager I have had recently. I have been trying more of them so as not to forget my roots. Most of the time I have been neither turned on or totally bummed out, this was an exception. A very clear golden liquid was topped by a nice white head that retained well. Lacing was wispy but lasted all the way down the glass. Malty aroma was inviting, taste was ultra smooth and refreshing. It had a nice soft malt presence with subtle hopping. A very quaffable beer, I can see having this more often when summer comes.

Serving type: on-tap
