We really don't give a hoot for the big brand lagers, this is the real helles-style deal. Inspired by the bierhalle of Munich, we're talking about a bright refreshing beer that quenches a thirst.

500ml bottle from Tebay Services, following a mtb trip to Innerleithen, shared with haddock. Pours a clear golden yellow with good white foam. Pleasant lagery whiff prior to first sip which produces a good malty helles sweetness, crisp and gently bitter. Soft grain. Really enjoyable Cumbrian lager.

Sunday 26th September 2021. The quest goes on tasting with Mat in Chez Sophie. 500ml bottle between us. Clean and clear golden body, decent white head. Refreshing enough, slight grainy undertones in the nose and taste.

27/6/2020. Bottle from Beer Cockermouth (beergb.com), and shared with the SHIG at the Cumbrian 20 bottle share. Pours slightly hazy golden with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of hops, grain, fruit and flowers. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, average carbonation. Fair.

Clear blond colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have some light floral notes. Bland but inoffensive.

500ml bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of butterscotch, faint citrus and malt. Taste is better, some helles character. Decent balance.

Bottle consumed at Cropredy, Fairports Annual Reunion Festival 2015, Saturday 15th courtesy of Craig. Golden in colour with a slim white head, this is one of those beers that suffered for being consumed after the vodka tasting, so my notes were so sketchy as to be almost non-existent. A little bit flat, light fruitiness, not that lagery, ok. (see told yer!) A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9
