Score: 16½ points

Appearance (3)
Bright golden. Dense head.

Aroma (3)
Floral hops, mildly fruity and grassy. Fresh clean malt.

Mouthfeel (8)
Light-medium body, fairly fizzy. Clean mildly grainy malt behind a fairly big floral, grassy hop flavor. Low-medium bitterness. Floral hops all the way through the finish, with just a bit of sulfur.

Overall Impression (2½)
Hoppier than most Helles, but still pretty tasty. There are no melons in this beer, but today I learned about a German hop called Hüll Melon.
