Helles Lager by pFriem Family Brewers was reviewed as a ' Munich Helles ' (#4A) of the 2015 BJCP Guidelines. The lager poured revealed a very light straw color, in fact, it was almost clear with just a splash of yellow. Very nice and transluscent along with very tiny, effervescent bubbles ( almost champagne like ) that clung on the side of the glass. The aroma revealed a malt sweetness ( almost honey-like ) and no hops ( okay for the style ). The flavor had a nice malt sweetness that was very grain like, again almost honey as well balanced with very low hop bittering. The body and mouthfeel was light to medium with a very nice carbonation that was both crisp and smooth in the palate. This beer would be a great compliment for a hot, sunny day that it is both light and thirst quenching. Well made beer that exemplifies the style correctly. This beer style is currently the most popular in Southern Germany.
