Kros Strain Helles Creek Lager

I usually don't have a lot to say about lagers. They don't have the flavor palette that you find with ales, due to the cold fermentation style of brewing, however, if you you tune your taste buds (and expectations to "subtle" you'll get more out of the experience.

Helles is a specific style of lager that tends to be sweeter and "breadier" than your typical lager. The word "helles" means "pale", and helles lagers are indeed pale in hue. Helles Creek is a bit fuller in body that your run of the mill lager. There's a hint of spiciness, nutmeg and cinnamon...a hint...barely noticeable. There's definitely some sweetness, maybe honey-ish. If you're looking for big "hey, look at me!" flavor, you'll be disappointed, but if you're willing to let the taste come to you, this is worth the time.
