Named after the German word for the warm and dry mountain wind known in Alberta as a Chinook.
Our Helles is unfiltered, full-bodied and has a clean, smooth, mildly grainy-sweet malty flavour and a soft, low bitterness finish. Subtle spicy, floral, earthy hop character. The German yeast contributes to the clean fermentation profile and the haze in the beer. Because the Helles is such an enjoyable and refreshing beer, it will quickly become your everyday go-to brew.

This is my first go at the first offering from this brewery.
Appearance – Pours a hazy gold with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell – earthy and floral hops, lemon, grainy and biscuit malts, earthy lager yeast.
Taste – earthy and floral hops upfront. The lemon comes through next followed by the grainy and biscuity malts. The earthy lager yeast rounds out the brew.
Mouthfeel – Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes crisp and smooth.
Overall – A brew that I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was their first ever offering. I must say this is quite a sessionable and easy drinking beer that I can see as a summer quencher. Welcome to the craft beer world Wild Winds!
