Hopped several times to create a unique blend of textures and aromas, O’Hara’s Helles is higher in bitterness than main stream lagers and delivers a unique bite with a clean balanced finish. The hop profile is tailored to suit the craft beer drinker and the bitterness is clean and intense. The malty body pays tribute to traditional European lagers and an extra-long conditioning time allows the maximum array of lager flavours to develop. The combination of noble hops, speciality malts and a classic lager yeast strain allow the esters and hop aromas to combine and balance perfectly.

330ml bottle from Beer52 - Pours a clear golden colour with an average sized foamy white head that slowly settled. The aroma is malty cereals with some spicy hop notes. A moderately sweet malty taste, bready, grainy cereal flavours, some hoppy notes but pretty ordinary.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear golden pour with one finger white head, short lasting, leaving minimal lacing. Grains and hops on the nose. Thin body with regular carbonation. Light on the tongue, but smooth, not too watery. Mildly bitter taste. Aroma of malts, grains, hay, grass. Herbal. Earthy hops, slight caramel. Overall, not bad. A bit unimaginative, but pleasant nonetheless.
