On tap at Jealous Monk, mild beechwood smoke permeates desolate smoked meat wisp and slight herbal Hallertau-hopped pilsner malting of one-year anniversary smoked helles posing as a light-bodied, less flavorful rauchbier.

DROWNED LANDS FURROW KELLERBIER
On tap at Ambulance, dry pilsner-malted kellerbier (an unpasteurized cellared helles) retain smooth light-bodied accessibility, holding lemon-died grassy hop astringency in check.
SINGLECUT THE PLEASURE THE PRIVILEGE HELLES LAGER
On tap at Growler & Gill, musky wet-grained earthen pungency envelops sour lemondrop tartness and dry herbal hops above delicate rye-floured brown breading.
FIRESTONE LAGER
Soft-toned Helles-styled lager brings maize-dried herbal snatch and wheat-floured French breading to politely astringent Hallertau-hopped pilsner malting with flattish restraint.
(SOURCE) SOURCE OF CHEERS MUNICH-STYLE HELLES LAGER
Sessionable helles lager flings hay-like husked maize astringency, dry spelt-grained flouring and corn-sugared pale malting at grassy Noble-hopped lemon peel spritz for muskily rustic malt liquor-like persistence.
SLY FOX HELLES GOLDEN LAGER
On tap at Hop Daddy’s, easygoing pilsner-malted/ Saaz-Hallertau-hopped Bavarian-styled golden lager stays delicately dry. Yeasty sourdough breading gains skunky grain-hopped musk (and slight cabbage patch) and mild lemon-seeded grassy hop bittering above biscuity pale malt base.
TIRED HANDS HELLES OTHER PEOPLE
On tap at Ambulance, dry helles lager pits dewy pilsner malts against grassy-hopped herbal musk and distant lemon rot.
SINGLECUT LIFTON HELLES LAGER WITH GREEN TEA & LEMON VERBENA
On tap at Ambulance, well-designed green tea-infused lager with zesty lemon verbena tartness gains lightly spiced lavender, fern, sage and clove influence. An offbeat herbal lemon tea alternative.
FORDHAM GYPSY LAGER
On tap at Grey Fox Grille, pasty off-dry helles lager utilizes herbal Perle hops and corn-buttered Vienna malts to bolster murkily raw-honeyed orange and fig notions, but fails as its vegetal bottom drags down the musty fruit-dried finish.
SIERRA NEVADA HELLES IN THE TROPICS
Easygoing summertime helles bock combines zesty lemon, juicy orange, tart pineapple, salted guava and spiced peach tropicalia over dry pale malt breading, retaining proper Euro hop astringency (and peppery herbal wisp).
TWO ROADS CRUISE CONTROL LAGER
On tap at Growler & Gill, ‘easy riding’ aluminum-cleared helles lager brings tart lemon-dropped green grape esters and mild orange oiling to grassy herbal hop restraint above musky wet-grained sourdough breading.
INDUSTRIAL ARTS SPRING LANDSCAPE
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, nebulous pale honey bock brings musky wet-grained Vienna malting to slightly viscous raw honey astringency and spicy hop tingle in relegated manner. Closer to a dewy autumnal ale than a springtime bock. On second passing, raw-honeyed orange souring gained musky black tea rusticity and minty lavender afterglow that’s muskier and sourer than stylishly expected.
