Boston Beer Company Fresh as Helles – Helles/Dortmunder at 5.4% ABV | 18 IBU

Boston Beer Company Fresh as Helles Helles/Dortmunder at 5.4% ABV | 18 IBU (On tap at Pappadeaux IAH, reviewed 9-Mar-2017)

Appearance: clear pale gold with one finger of medium white head, moderate lacing. (3/5) Aroma: orange zest, lightly toasted grain, grass. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (5/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry short finish. (3/5)

A fairly straightforward Helles made slightly more interesting by the addition of orange blossoms. Easy drinking and clean, if not all that exciting. (12/20)
