Helles Yeah

Labelled an "American Helles", this is a great lager, coming from someone who doesn't much care to drink lager. This is another one of these deals I occasionally score at Kenwood: only $10.99 a case. I really regret now that I bought just one. I didn't even know what a Helles was, but this beats the pants off a pilsner any day. More malty, just a hint of sweetness, followed up by the hop bitter lager finish. This another beer that is a perfect entry for anyone considering a life beyond American light beers. So easy drinking that I just gotta find more, and spend more time investigating this style as interpreted by other brewers. MB
