Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager

This will probably be one of my last helles beers of the summer, with just a few bottles of Spaten left in the fridge. Worth noting about this brew is the unique can design that allows the drinker to pull the top completely off and drink directly from the can if he or she prefers. As for me, a glass is used almost always.

Straw-golden appearance with a white head that settles down to a modest rim. Hazy body with carbonation bubbles showing. Certainly appealing in appearance.

Smells of grain with a note of grape juice; cidery. No hop aroma to speak of. Mild, but sort of sweet and friendly to the nose.

Balanced in the mouth with a nudge of hops, spicy/peppery hops flavor, and a grape juice-like sweetness. Simple and refreshing with an easy-going finish. Recommended for taking the edge off and relaxing in the evening.
