Our brewers in Portland got together with our homies at Wayfinder Beer to create this stellar Helles. Naturally carbonated through a method called "spunding," this lager is beautifully bright and effervescent, with subtle hints of toasted bread and honey. Ridiculously drinkable and balanced, Abaddon was brewed with German malts and hopped with Perle and Hallertau Mittlefruh to give it an expressive take on a traditional style.

Can at home. Pours semi opaque golden with white head. Nose is hay, light bready malts, moderate noble hops. Taste is beautifully rounded bittersweet harmony of hay and grass, bread and a touch of herbs. Closes with sweetish bready hay notes, has a light body and soft carbo. Noice.

Can, 0.568l. Aroma is grassy, grainy, biscuity and slightly metallic. Pours cloudy golden color with medium sized frothy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet grainy and grassy, following is bready and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth but crisp, while finish is medium bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Abaddon is not to abandon...

Poured from a 19.2 oz stovepipe can dated March 31, 2020. Aroma has a medium grain notes with a light breast character and hint of cracker. Faint floral and herbal hop notes. Pours a rather clear, brilliant gold, with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate grain notes and a light bready, cracker note. Medium bitterness and just a hint of alcohol. Light herbal and floral hop notes. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an extremely crushable beer that conveniently comes in larger cans. This could be a go to lager for me.
