440ml can from Leith Bottle Shop. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, grain, grass. Taste is sweet, malty, grainy, straw, with grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying grassy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

From tap at The Holyrood 9A, Edinburgh. Bready grains with grassy noble hop, some cereal and straw. Moderate bitter with a slight sweetness. Fine clean Helles Lager.

440ml can from Beer52. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of sweet malt, lemon, straw, cereal, spice. Taste has a light bread, cereal, lemon, grass, touch of spice. Light+ bodied, crisp, modest bitterness. Sort of a cross between a Helles and Pils. I like it.

440ml can via Beer52: BB 30th September 2025, drank at home on 12th December 2024. Pale golden body, bright and clean, white crown. Easy going Helles, crisp and refreshing, slightly more hoppy than malty, nice balance between them.

[44cl can from Beer52.] A bright straw coloured pour with a loose white head; musty grain aroma; sweet cereal grain taste with a floral bitterness; and a sour grainy finish. This doesn’t remind me of a Helles.
