South Germany inspired light and refreshing blonde Helles beer.

Santa Clara es una lager inspirada en las icónicas Helles-bier del sur de Alemania. Auténtica al estilo, es limpia y de color amarillo pajizo. Muestra una estructura de maltas clásicas que aportan un dulzor que recuerda a las pipas de girasol acompañado de lúpulos nobles Tettnanger con toques florales y un sutil amargor a hierba fresca. La cerveza más querida por nuestros cerveceros coge su nombre de la isla Santa Clara en la Bahía de la Concha, en San Sebastián.

330ml can from Beer52. Mostly clear light gold with small white head, modest retention. Aroma is doughy with some herbal and light citrus. Taste is quite bready with sweet cereal malt notes with some herb and grassiness in the finish. Medium bodied, mid to fine carbonation. Somewhat more bitter than your average helles.

Entre dorada y pajiza, ligeramente nebulosa y con bonita espuma blanca de retención media. Aroma poco marcado, levadura, notas especiadas y ligeramente cítricas. En boca buena carbonatación, carácter seco, y sabor con presencia de grano cereal y notas herbales y en menor medida especiadas. Se bebe fácil.

Tap at Basque Izakaia in San Sebastian. Clear pale golden with a creamy-frothy head. Crisp and clean enough lager with a light carbonation. Standard aroma and a fair taste.

200ml draught, 4.8 % abv, at Tromsø Mikrobryggeri. Basqueland Brewing TTO. Upper part lacing in the glass, filmy layer, clear late straw coloured body. Moderate grass-grainy aromas. Fine balanced taste of grassy hops, craft malts, and a distant citric bite. Dry finish with subdued bitterness. Clean on the swallow. Well made version of the style. (Tromsø, 17.09.2024).

En vaso helles, color amarillo claro, brillante, espuma blanca y resistente. Suave aroma a malta y cereal, con un leve toque de lúpulo herbal. En boca es de cuerpo ligero, moderadamente dulce, final ligeramente amargo. Notas de pan, heno, ligeros toques cítricos...Muy refrescante, bebible, jugosa. Muy rica
