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 MBR. Thanks Miroslav & Vanja for sharing! Poured a golden body with a white head. Grainy, slightly herbal aroma, some carrot. Bitter, dry hop forward taste, carrot again, slightly herbal. The body/mouthfeel isn’t bad but the flavors are a miss I’m afraid

Bottle from Magic Room. Pretty simple lager, but at least without flaws. Mostly yeasty, light malt and faint hints of hops. Clear yellow colour.
