The Alsace-Lorraine region has had a turbulent history, changing hands several times between Germany and France. This German Helles Exportbier, is made entirely with French Aramis hops, and the finest German Barke Pilsner malt. Triple decocted, and fermented with a famous German Lager strain. This delicious, golden coloured beer is the perfect balance of slight malt sweetness, & spicy, floral, herbal notes, with an undercurrent of citrus and fruit.

Poured from 355mL can. Super active, exploded a bit when the can opened. Slightly hazed golden orange with small off white head. Mild bready caramel malt with very gentle floral hops in the background. More of an amber lager. It's fine.

355mL can, pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out gentle earthy spiciness, bready malt, and a touch of red fruitiness. Flavour is very different than a typical helles, with bready malt, some dry red fruits, and light earthy spiciness. Doesn't seem like a helles to me; more like a dry amber lager. Pleasant enough.
