A Note on This Beer
Here are three reasons why you should try today’s Helles Lager from Masthead Brewing Co.:
- It won a Gold Medal at the 2020 GABF!
- It’s delightfully complex: the scent tickles the nose with aromas of pears, crackers, and wildflowers. The taste follows, bringing more notes of honey-drizzled cereal, fresh lemons, and toasted bread.
- It has a smooth, semi-sweet finish, and a slightly fuller body than you might expect from the style.
If those reasons weren’t enough, here’s a fourth: it comes from one of the most decorated breweries in Ohio, whose woodfire pizza-serving taproom is in a former 1920s Ford dealership! And, let’s be honest — each crisp, refreshing sip is darn delicious.
Once you finish your first can of Augenblick, the only question is — what reason do you have not to crack a second?

This one felt average for me. Nothing spectacular. Malty and bit crispy. An odd aftertaste.

Clean, crisp, and delicious – but this is too bitter and hoppy to be an as-advertised Munich-style Helles. Rather, this is a textbook German-style Pilsner.

Great lager

Sweet, bready, clean, mildly floral/herbal hops. Full bodied flavor throughout and surprisingly chewy mouthfeel for such low abv. Love this one.

Very nice clean, crisp lager. Lots of floral notes and not too sweet.
