This multi award winning Helles Lager is brewed with Lager & Sucrose malts and the noble Saaz hop. Herbal, lemon and fresh grain aromas which is light and crisp with an elegantly brisk and dry finish is as close to a traditional Helles as possible.

660ml Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of citrus lemon and a fair amount of herbal notes. Taste is quite bready with more of the citrus and herbal notes and also some peppery spice. Mild earthy hops hanging on the finish. Medium body, fairly low carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, quite smooth but a bit too herbal for me personally.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - bright golden with a big, fluffy, snow white, head. Nose - corn, bread and light lemon. Taste - brown bread, hop spice and herbs. Some lemon on the end. Palate - light bodied, creamy middle, with good bitterness on the finish. Overall - quite nice. Perhaps edging towards Pilsner style.

Craft TCR bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Almost clear pale gold beer, small white head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, reasonable lager character, touch of German nuttyness. Big floral in the mid. Mild citrus. Smooth finish. Clean lager, could be crisper.
