Sisyphus Helles Yeah Helles Lager

Sisyphus Helles Yeah Helles Lager.
4.5 % ABV. 15 IBU.
Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

I've said it over and over again, but maybe you weren't there when the memo went out. I'm not that much of a lager lover. But, sometimes, the time is right for one. And I felt that tonight was the night to try out the helles lager from Sisyphus.

Clear, golden-hued, slim white head.

in the nose: Lightly hopped, floral, touch of malt sweetness.

In the mouth: Light bodied, smooth, easy-drinking. Low hop bitterness, touch of sweet malt/cereal grain flavors. Just a whisper on the palate, then off she goes. Thirst quencher, indeed. Damn, that's a nice helles.

You guys aren't open, what the helles wrong with you? We still want to get you this thirst quenching beer with our curbside ordering. Come grab one, two, or 12 crowlers to get you through this work week.

Contrary to what the above states, Sisyphus Brewing is open again, and it feels fine to sit down at a bar once more and relax with fine craft beer in hand. A little pinball. Chat with Sam for a bit. The prospect of slowly returning to normalcy. Little bit, by little bit.
