This beautifully balanced 4% light golden lager delivers exceptional drinkability—plus, it’s vegan and gluten-free! Crisp and refreshing, UnBarred Helles is a true tribute to English heritage malts and traditionally grown hops. Expect bright citrus zest, floral hay, and a touch of honeyed sweetness, rounded out by gentle herbal undertones and a clean, dry finish. It boasts a bouquet of inviting, meadowsweet aromas from a refined blend of English Cascade and Fuggles hops and is brewed sustainably with 100% English ingredients. By supporting UK farmers and reducing our carbon footprint, we craft a beer as pure, fresh, and full of character as the land it comes from.

(Keg at the brewery taproom, 20250609) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, honey and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, fruitiness, bread, honey and bitterness. Aftertaste was dry and had flavours of grass and bitterness. A decent dry and grainy brew.

Draught keg at the taproom, Brighton. Light gold, clear with visible carbonation and a small white head. Grainy aroma, strong grassy notes and a hint of malt. Taste is sweet but not too much so with light bitterness in the finish. Light body with quite heavy carbonation. Great malt bill on this Helles. A cut above most.

Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a sticky finish. Coriander, lemon, yeast, grain & light malt tastes. Refreshing.
