From the label

“Label explicitly states 'LAGER' and 'HIPS HELLES'. The word 'Helles' in the beer name suggests a German-style golden lager (helles), but the label does not print 'HELLES' as a standalone style designation—only 'LAGER' appears as the explicit style. The beer is a 5-gallon keg (18.927 L) produced by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. in Chico, CA. Confidence is moderate (0.75) because 'Helles' in the name strongly implies helles-style, but the label's explicit style statement is only 'LAGER', which maps to lager_other per taxonomy rules when no more specific substyle is printed. The name inference would support helles, but explicit_label 'LAGER' takes precedence; however, the name 'Helles' is strong enough context that helles is likely the intended style—this ambiguity caps confidence at 0.75 rather than higher.”
