It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Käuzle Helles Lager

The first beer in this year's beer advent calendar is Käuzle Helles Lager, made by Kauzen-Bräu in Ochsenfurt, Germany, which is kind of in the middle of southern Germany, in northern Bavaria, about midway between Frankfurt and Nuremberg -- in case you are up on your German geography.  Helles beers are easy-drinking pale lagers.  They are generally not too high in alcohol content and not hoppy at all.  Basically, these are the Budweisers of German beer.  Crushable, but there's nothing that makes them stand out.  This one is pretty standard.  It was light and refreshing with a hint of tartness.
