DRAFT REVIEW: Hotter than Helles
RATING
90

Soft, grainy bread and faint, grassy hop scents float up from the glass as this pale yellow beer’s big, playful bubbles pop. The bouquet’s perfectly mimicked on the tongue: Gentle bread and grainy sharpness wash over the taste buds with hoppy white pepper and grass; the combination’s refreshing and engaging. Subtle malt sweetness eases the sharp hop bitterness in the back for a pleasantly simple, dry finish.
