Helles, the Freedom way. Not happy with simply replicating a Munich style Helles, we use an organic malt which showcases the organic Hallertau Tradition hops to deliver a full bodied beer packed full with delicate flavours. And if that wasn’t enough it’s certified organic and Vegan too.

Bottle at the Everyman cinema in Marlow. Pale gold with a fine but rather prickly fizz and a thin white head. A little sweet buttery malt up front before some herby grass and a bit of urine come through. There's a hint of industrial lager to it, but it's not too bad I guess.

Bottle stolen from the Eurostar lounge at St Pancras and consumed on the 9.01am train to Brussels, 30th May 2022. Pours a light straw. Aroma is card, straw. Taste is standard, lager, a light grain, light floral, pretty dull.

330ml can. Gold, small white foamy head, no retention. Aroma of malts, straw, grass; doesn't have that clean German lager note. Taste is semi-sweet, malts, straw, some grain. A decent bitter bite at the end. Average.

330ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, yeasty, light floral woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, watery, mineral, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation.

(Keg at a Le Pain Quotidien, but 20191017)The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, grain and malts. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, lightly sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grainy and bitter. A nice grassy and grainy brew with too fizzy palate and too mild bitterness at the finish.
