Fresh, crisp, clean and refreshing, our lager uses Cascade hops for a subtle citrus flavour perfect for drinking at the beach or on your couch.

Brewed with a combination of traditional and modern techniques, the Cascade hops and a long lagering in the tank produce a delicious zesty flavour. Aromatic and fragrant, we use all-natural ingredients for great depth and drinkability.

The motivation behind brewing our lager comes from sunny summer days drinking something cold and refreshing on a Cornish beach. Brewed to recreate that feeling, but improving on flavour, our Helles Beach Lager looks to satisfy your senses as well as quench your thirst.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB! Aroma of grass, herbal, and caramel. Caramel taste is quite thin and watery.

44cl Blik van Eden Project. Helder goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Licht zuurtje, moutig, dode gist, niet echt fresh, crisp, clean zoals ze zelf pretenderen. Zeer matige uitvoering van een al niet heel spannende stijl.

Fresh but slight sourness, fairly typical lager, was hoping for a bit more from the cascade hops. Not particularly pleasant aroma, hay and slight citrus

The one on the right. Authentic Helles taste. Refreshing with a bit of bite

330ml can bought from the brewery as part of a delivery and drunk at home. Dark gold, pretty hazy with a small ring of white head. Hay in the nose, dried grass, lime zest. Sweet taste with some bright citrus hop with some buttery and grainy notes. Medium carbonation on a light body. It's certainly refreshing but it's fairly humdrum.

Can from Qwerty Beer Box. Aroma has basement malts, a hint of citrus and sugar water. Light gold. Frothy foamy white head. An initial burst squirt of lemon juice, with underlying metallic notes. Sour with a bitter edge. Doughy hints. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long quite dry and somewhat astringent finish. Sat outside listening to some people down the road have a massive argument it's fine.

Can from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - pale yellow. Thin head. Nose - lemon, light metallic. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied, refreshing finish. Overall - it's a bit single dimensional but that dimension does what it's supposed to.
