Amber, juicy and brioche.

Our take on the popular helles lager, it has additions of dark Munich malt shift the focus away from the traditional German lager’s hop character and instead focuses on delectable brioche flavours.

Can from Barrels & Botanicals. It pours clear lager yellow with a decent white head. The aroma is sweet, soft, doughy white bread, brioche, custard creams, damp grain and hay. The taste is crisp, dry, rather sweet, doughy white bread, rich tea biscuit, custard creams, caramac, fatty, damp grass and grain with a soft, doughy finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Simple, but drinkable doughy lager.

Can from the brewery. Appearance - golden with a generous off-white head. Nose - biscuit and light caramel. Taste - sweet popcorn, light ginger biscuit. A hint of citrus. Palate - light bodied, sweet-ish middle and dry-ish finish. Overall - ok, but not as good as their normal lager.
