Our Helles is a refreshing and crisp lager ready to quench your thirst. Malty notes and a rounded spiced aroma leads the way to a light bitterness and gentle notes of fruit.

440ml can bought at Storo Ølutsalg. Good lacing from a huge white head, clear golden body. Floral fruity aromas, grassy, promising. Mixed taste of dusty, noble hops and pale malts. Discreet bitter endnotes. Pretty nice, summer feel. (Hotel room, Oslo 15.08.2025).

Can. A very light haze on this gold beer, small off white head. Light palate, a mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a hint of nutty sweetness towards the mid which also shows a lager tang. Hops bring crisp light pine, floral hops and very mild by fairly juicy citrus on the light smooth finish. A very serviceable lager. A tad more noble hop bitterness would go a long way.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft, OG. Pours totally clear, light yellow, slightly effervescent, with a creamy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with kites of crispy cereal, mellow bitter hay, grass, lemon rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, a little bitter dirty straw, crunchy grains, cereal flakes. Not bad, drinks easy.
