Commercial Description: "Classic Helles Lager with floral Noble hop character. Crisp, smooth and clean lager."
Awards: Gold Medal, 2021 Great American Beer Festival (Munich-Style Helles Category)
Where distributed: Grains of Wrath distributes to Oregon and Washington.
Smell (25%): Floral hoppy with spice notes and standard pilsner malt. 4/5
Taste (40%): Clean lager, crisp and smooth floral that segues into a lovely pilsner malt. Bonus points for the pleasing hop citrus on the aftertaste. 4.25/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Light-bodied; good carbonation. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An awesome lager. Straightforward to my amateur palate, yet very worthy of that gold medal at the GABF. I don't drink too many lagers, but when your friend sends it to you with a stamp of approval, I had to try it for myself. Definitely proper science. 4/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.138/5
