Serving Temperature, 50 degrees. Serving Glassware, 12 ounce tulip.

I would like to first preface this as interesting in that an imperial helles is not all that common. With that said this beer pours orange and clear with an initial strong foamy head that dies out leaving a nice lining of lace throughout.
The nose is interesting with the intersect of tangerine citrus, and spicey notes, and some honey.
The mouth is medium with strong hop profile, with cinnamon, and honey, and the previously mention tangerine like ctirus.

Interesting to say the least but non one I would want to hadn to someone new to helles.

Cheers
