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.

Bottled. A hazy yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and straw, leading to a dry finish.

Keg at The Fox & Grapes, Wimbledonshire. It pours clear pale gold with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, buttered white bread, straw, light floral notes and grass. The taste is crisp, clean, straw, pepper, grass and a touch of paper with a dry, grassy finish. Medium body and high, effervescent carbonation. Pretty refreshing. A decent lager bier.

Bottle from Morrisons. Light yellow, a bit of white head and notably large carbonation. Floral grainy smell. Taste is bittersweet at first, turning slightly more bitter. Medium finish with a suggestion of raw grain. Pleasant enough but mostly nondescript.

Cask @ Golden Fleece, York. Clear straw-blonde coloured lager, with a carbonation and an extremely thin head. Has a light Helles styling, and is crisp and clean tasting.
