Old rating - A 330ml bottle from Love Wine in Jersey. Pours a amber colour with white foamy head. Mildly sweet with citrus, low level of hops. Keeping with the style. Very good.

Another crisp and clean lager from the brewery. Incredibly drinkable, grassy and well balanced with the great cereals. Excellent.

0.33 tap. Slightly unclear golden with almost no head. Elderflower, brioche, lemon zest, grainy, grassy. Mild dry bitterness, fruity floral sweetness. Medium to light bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry grainy fruity bittersweet finish. Very good Helles, perfectly hits the middle between craft and classic-ness.

330 ml can, from the brewery webstore. ABV is 4.1%. Pale golden colour, moderate to small white head. Aroma of floral and herbal hops, also a hint of citrus. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour has a slight sweetness and some citrus, with a herbal and moderately bitter finish.

Can in the sun, 28th May 2020. Pours clean and clear. Aroma is straw and hay. Taste is bitter, and straw, itβs quite basic, but very drinkable

This is okay. I'm not massively into helles. But it's smooth and crisp with a decent maltiness and that's all I can really ask for.
