GASLIGHT HELLES ~ MUDDY YORK

Sampled on Draft.  Helles lager was the German answer to Czech Pils.  Helles (meaning bright in German) is a bit more malty, with a very similar spice pallet as a Czech Pils.  This beer was a really pleasant surprise.  The beer poured a light golden colour, and had an unfiltered opaqueness.  The nose was a subtle toasted wheat with floral notes.   It was well carbonated with a lively mouth feel.  The beer had lots of flavour!  A pleasant surprise on the taste buds! Great balance of a slightly sweet malt and crisp finish.  Very drinkable and thirst quenching!
