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.

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.

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.

Casual 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.

Salty billowy white-headed, hazily pale-bodied, wheat-grazed Munich-styled medium body picks up tempered lemon rind sourness, dewy sourdough splurge, and grassy grain surge its mildly acidic bitter hop finish durably enforces.

Heineken crowd will gobble up versatile mild-malted bitter-hopped pilsner-like helles lager as less filling, lighter-bodied substitute. But lemony quince wince, uncertain caramel backdrop, and soapy dough finish mar its Euro-trash simplicity.

Silken pilsner-related honeyed wheat sweetness cloaks moderate hop-spiced mineral graining that recedes quickly as overriding lime-like fizz knocks back mild bitterness. Brisk water flow adds to refreshing nature. Perfect for Rebel Bohemian Pilsner or Budweiser fans.

All natural straw-hued lager with crisp water cleanness, vibrant Cascade hops, and filmy glass-clinging Brussels lace. Rich barleymalts, honeyed oats, and stone fruiting offer slight red ale sweetness to complete the simple grain finish. Well above mainstream lagers without getting fancy.

Unobtrusive light-bodied pale lager matches dank sour whiff to acrid orange peel bitterness, sunny lemon-lime twist, and fizz-hopped alacrity. Cloy corn cusp deceives husked wheat dryness and arbitrary roasted barley-toasted honey sweetness mid-palate. This was the approachable helles lager that started it all for Cricket Hill in 2002.

Slim grassy hop fizz and buttery malt creaminess meet honeyed oats sweetness for uninteresting medium-bodied Munich helles lager. Skunked cabbage-like aroma disrupts vegetal corn-husked earthiness.

Heavily hopped hazy golden medium body with raw-grained initiation leaves toasted barley sweetness at back-throat. Herbal-vegetal restraint adds wispy nuance to mildly astringent citric finish.

Spastic clay hop fizz and sour rye aromatics nearly overwhelm tangy lemon retreat as honey-toasted grains reinforce dry wheat backbone of glistening golden medium body.
