Connoisseurs will recognize the ‘oxymoron’ or the apparent contradiction in the beer’s style and name. An unfiltered Helles is, by definition, a contradiction. We find this tension incredibly intriguing, as it mirrors the duality of our brewery: our beers are iconic and steeped in tradition and authenticity, yet we also enjoy pushing boundaries to appeal to the adventurous beer drinker.

Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of light malt, bread. Similar taste. Grass. Perhaps a faint amount of Belgian yeast.

Bottle from the LCBO here in Toronto. Decently thick malt, with a mild sweetness, toasty hay, with mild bitterness on top. A nice example of the style.

Bottle from Systembolaget. I really didn't quite understand the point of this. Sure it delivers a little more Belgian profile to lager, which gave it a satisfying ending but it didn't stand out.

Bread, caramel nose with skunky overtones. Hazy amber, medium head. Caramel, lemongrass, bread crust. Medium body moderate carbonation. Elements of both an ESB and Helles. I like it.

Bottle from the Packie enjoyed at home. Pours a lightly cloudy deep gold color with a bubbly white head that persists. Rich bready crackery toasty malts with earthy hops to counter. Decadent beverage that I thoroughly enjoyed, I should have bought more than a single.

Aromas are malt, dry grass and a little bit of Belgian yeast. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly on the sweet side with enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Drinkable but nothing special at all.

330ml bottle at Hops & Bottles. Cloudy golden pour, ring of bubbly white head. Fruity aroma, hint of Belgian yeast, notes of lemon, bread dough. Taste opens with some light Belgian yeast character, fruity, biscuity than tapering off to a light crisp hoppiness at the finish. The best of Belgium and Germany rolled into one. Consider me a fanboy .
gave a cheers!
