Nebulous blue collar fodder lacks true Munich-styled helles lagering as phenol astringency nearly buries raw-honeyed dried wheat scouring and prickly grassy-hopped citric-quince stint to weak doughy bottom. Buttery malting turns diacetyl right away.

On tap at Copper Mine, likable soft-toned helles bock brings polite citric-spiced lemon-limed tartness and ancillary banana sweetness to buttery white-breaded spine. Resinous herbal-hopped respite fills out delicate backend of easygoing summertime session beer.

Gritty hybridized bronze-hazed helles bock closer to an India Pale Ale with its sweet fruited spicing and bitter piney hop respite. Grapefruit-peeled orange-peach-pineapple tropicalia supercedes honeyed malting. Disclaimer: Pour slowly or risk over-carbonation.

 

 

Rating: 3.5

Easygoing clear-yellowed Munich-styled helles lager offers polite pale malted mineral graining and delicate grassy-hopped dryness to salted citric intimation. Earthen fungi bottom reinforces lemony orange-grapefruit spritz of snazzy summer seasonal.

Rating: 3

Tags:

Seemingly updated, but definitely relabeled Helles bock with better flavor profile not half-bad as midrange post-winter warmer. Tart orange souring and bittersweet raisin-fig harshness cushion caramelized butterscotch-toffee sweetness to baguette-like bottom of opaque gold moderation.

Rating: 4

Tags:

Delightful fruit cocktail theme underscored by sharp floral-spiced grassy-hopped orange peel bittering and rich caramel malt creaminess. Wheat-honeyed red cherry, purple grape, pineapple, tangerine, peach, mango, and melon illusions brighten maple-sapped pine-combed spruce-tipped viscosity to lusty 8.3% alcohol reminder. A rejuvenating IPA-like specialty brewed in conjunction with lauded beer experts Charlie Papazian and Fred Eckhardt.

Rating: 2.5

Tentative creamed corn lead-in of light-bodied helles lager cannot escape astringent phenol hop sabotage and soapy flow. White-breaded sourdough yeast informs oats-flaked wheat-dried biscuit base.

HARPOON HELLES BLOND BOCKCasual moderate-bodied amber-hued German-styled blond lacks overall distinction and fruity pizzazz. Buttery pale-malted honey-roasted barley graining enjoins basic floral-hopped orange-peach-cherry tang and pastry-like sugar cookie sweetness. Vanilla, iced tea, and wet paper illusions receive tertiary whiskey-zapped ransom.

Rating: 3.5

Tags:

Uncommon light-bodied pale lager brings aromatic charred wood impetus to complementary cedar-burnt smoked meat scheme. Dry-hopped sour lemon fizz tickles tongue, absorbing black pepper tease and ash-singed firewood peculiarities.

Rating: 3

Tags:

Crisp, silky smooth, light-bodied Helles lager with papery Eastern Euro-like white bread malting loses dry-grained sturdiness by dankly phenol cardboard finish. Lemony hop setting consumes corn syrup sweetness.

Rating: 3

Tags:

Malted barley-wheat palate sweetens polite hop bitterness in a straightforward manner, remaining light-bodied, smooth, and watery, but lacking discernible character. Musk-y yeast aroma typical of German brews. Drink ice cold for true briskness.

Rating: 3

Unique translucent blue bottle contains middling oats-flaked wheat-chaffed dry malt lager with prissy barley roasted sweetness stifling soft-textured yellow-paled moderate-bodied triviality.
