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.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [120815]
Golden blonde, clear, fizzy bubbly head, streaming carbonation
Aroma of light sweet pale caramel, little on nose
Taste of light caramel, soft bitter bit grassy hops, not much flavour
Palate - Medium carb, medium light body, quite fizzy, bit oily, clean palate, light sweet malts. Finish is fairly bitter, slightly metallic hops, then a sweet light bit buttery caramel note in the linger
Overall - Plain clean lager, mainly a bitter sensation than flavour. Not a fan of lagers, but this one wasn’t too bad.
