Mmm. Like butter and barley.

Perfect level of carbonation. Immediately crisp on the palate, with a . A slight tend towards a minor bitterness on the finish makes it finish very cleanly. I'm not really sure how a lager could get better than this, it's crisp and delicious and refreshing. I'd usually rate a lager lower, since on the whole they just aren't that interesting, but ranking this as awesome because it is an awesome lager.

Much better than the pilsner this helles lager is smooth crisp and darn tasty!

First taste is strongly bready, followed by pilsner bitterness and then bread again on the finish. Lovely malt without being overtly sweet, and none of the piney hop fragrance that graced Pravda, which makes this a nice & different complement to that beer. I really, really liked this.
