What the brewers say

“Brewed with German pilsner malt and Noble hops. Clean, crisp, and refreshing.”

What our panel thought

“Big white head with tight bubbles and a brilliantly clear, yellow color. Bright floral notes in the aroma. Touch of sulfur really adds structure. The first sip delivers crisp malt, a soft and slight sweetness, and a very clean, crisp, dry finish. These components expertly dance around each other creating a pleasant impression. A well-crafted beer.”

What our editors thought

“Gorgeous light malt nose with a significant fresh pils malt note—vibrant yet subtle, slightly nutty—and rounded lemony hops. That simplicity and lightness carry through to the flavor, as those malt notes somehow feel both full and weightless, and those hop notes build simple structure without significant bitterness. Substantial yet nimble, flavorful yet drinkable by the liter.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Around The Horn Brewing Company Reverse Altitude

“Aroma is camp smoke and Texas barbecue, fresh, deep post oak, absolutely lovely. Flavor is slightly sweet, toasty smoke with a soft, bready malt flavor that takes center stage. A balancing bitterness keeps everything in check, and the smoke really adds wonderful depth. Absolutely fabulous beer.”

Gold Dot Gold Dot Helles Lager

“Brilliant straw-yellow color with sticky, soapy white foam. Light, herbaceous Noble hop character with a slight cracker note. Flavorful honey notes and delicate floral hops lead to a well-rounded finish. Leaves you wanting another glass.”

Kings County Brewers Collective Infinite Machine

“Clean, crisp aroma highlighting light graham-cracker malt. Grainy sweetness up front; as you sip, floral hops come through to balance the flavor. Bready malt irons out a bit of bitterness. Some fruity esters keep the beer from finishing dry, making the aftertaste slightly sweet. Super clean, quenching.”
