Hells is the lovechild of our two favourite German beer styles - Helles and Pilsner. Clean, crisp and dry, it’s the beer we always wanted to drink and the reason we started our brewery. We hope you agree.

A pleasant and easy-drinking Helles with a clean malt character and subtle notes of fresh bread and light biscuit. The carbonation is refreshing, although the overall flavour profile feels somewhat restrained and lacks a little depth. The bitterness is gentle and well balanced, but the beer doesn't quite have enough character to make a lasting impression. Enjoyable and perfectly drinkable, but ultimately a little underwhelming.

660 ml bottle from Sainsbury's, London, England. Pours a crystal clear yellow-gold color with a large white head and great retention. Good lacing. Disappointingly skunky aroma. Smooth and slightly sweet pale lager flavor, and thankfully no skunky flavor. But no Helles characteristics either. Just a good straightforward lager. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Repeatable.

Review from a 330ml bottle. 01/02/2014. Pours a clear pale colour with medium carbonation & a small white head. Aromas of malt, grain, grass & hints of citrus. Taste of sweet malt, grain, lemon, citrus, straw, some bread and grassy hops leading to a sweet malt bitter finish.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is grainy and a bit hoppy with hay, grass, lightly a floral touch. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Body is light to medium. Nicely grassy, grainy and hoppy, can't complain about this one, underrated.

Аромат лагера, много приятного не звонного солода, хотя немного хмеля тоже есть. Про цвет ничего не могу сказать пил из банки как студент. Вкус нормальный, не терпкий хотя не сказал бы что пиво очень питкое. При глотке хмель есть, но умеренный. В целом удивительно не не плохой лагер.
