Our take on the infamous German Lager. Helles 5.2% has a crisp clean body, with balanced bitterness and just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more regardless of the weather…

Can shared at CBJ - cheers to Cloin. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with notes of doughy malts, biscuits, hay, lemon meringue. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish with more doughy pale biscuits. Not bad.

Bottleshare at Craft Beer Junction. Thanks to Cloin for the can. A light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy pale malts, thin, a reasonable creamy sweetness. Mild ripe citrus hops. Ripe. Meh!

19/3/2024. Bottle shared by the Shropshire boys, cheers. Pours very slightly hazy golden orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is grainy, malt, biscuit, sweet fruits, touch woody and hedgerow. Medium sweetness light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Sweet finish. Not bad.

330ml bottle shared with Jeremy. Pours gold with a large white head. Quite lively. Aroma of cereal grain, flavour profile delivers a decent grainy sweet malt helles profile, gentle bitterness. Pleasant lager.

440ml can: BB 17th April 2024. Shared with minutemat on 6th November 2023 during a mega tasting at my place (Panda for Grumbo). Very lively, huge white head on the golden body. Semi-sweet front with a slight bitter finish, but not really exciting or interesting.

Can from the Vineyard. Appearance - golden and cloudy. Creamy white head. Nose - bready and candied lemon. Taste - more of the same. Palate- light bodied but with more texture than expected. Soke bitterness. Overall - enjoyable beer but not on style for a helles.

Dark blond colour with thin head. Quite flat. Plain, bready malts. No bitterness. Not quite right. Misses carbonation and crispness.
