Commercial Description:
Keg only.
Helles is the German word for ‘light’ as in light colour, and this golden coloured beer is typified by a refreshing piney, citrus hop aroma sitting atop a predominantly light malt accented palate.
The hop aromas and delicate malt flavours work together in perfect balance to produce a refreshing beer with a clean, crisp finish. The Hallertaur hop does all its work on the nose, meaning this is a beer with very low bitterness. An ideal companion to roast pork, light seafood pasta, goats cheese salad, or an apricot tatin.

Half hellesbier served comfortably chilled from keg. Cloudy, straw coloured body. Thin, but lasting white head. Firm lacing on the glass. Grainy smell with hints of late apples. The taste displays a malted wheat profile supported by sweet fruits and herbal notes. Alright mouthfeel, but rather too much on the sweet side. As a partner to vegetarian curry (Dove Street Inn, Ipswich 04.05.2008).

Small white head. Yellow body. Light rubbery malty aroma. Dry grassy floral hoppy taste with malty straw notes. Some residual sweetness in the background. Light, refreshing. No real aftertaste. For a light summer beer, this is excellent. (0.5pt draft at the Greenwich Union.)
