A particularly mild, sparkling, long stored beer, refreshing and easily digestible at the same time. Uniquely in its taste, a benefit for each beer connoisseur.

Craft ales are more my thing these days but this is an excellent Helles style lager. 50 cl bottle and well done to Obrien's Lucan off licence for stocking this in Ireland. Love to have a pint off this in Munich some day.

500ml Bottle - Pours a pale honey/straw colour with foamy 1.5 finger head. Aroma is subtle bready malt and a little bit earthy. Taste pretty much follows the aroma however the sweet maltiness is intensified and leaves a very nice sweet finish that lingers. Looks and tastes great, an exceptional beer.

Creamy, mellow and light. Light floral aroma. Not too sweet at all for a helles. Slight grassy, herbal notes. Straw gold lager, lovely feel. No problem with this at all.

Poured from a 500ml bottle.

Pours light straw coloured with minimal visable carbonation and a tight bubbled white head that leaves a nice amount of lacing . The smell is vague , malty and grassy and not very strong. The taste is full but mellow , a pleasant bitterness throughout with citric acid , grass and straw . The mouthfeel is pretty good , not greasy or water , good middle ground here. Overall, this is a good beer but , for me at least , not a great one . The citric acid was a little overpowering and (where I live) I can get beer I prefer in this style for cheaper . Nevertheless, a pleasant beer , I'd drink it again .

Crystal clear pale straw colour with a white head. Huge, sweet malt on the nose. Honey, dough, lightly toasted bread, and clean lemon citrus hops. The taste follows exactly. Super clean, super light, perfectly balanced, and with a long, sweet finish. Outstandingly drinkable, but with enough going on to be interesting. Uniquely refreshing hops character, and uniquely complex malt profile for such a light beer. Can't say enough good things about it. A perfect lager, probably the best in the world, and certainly the benchmark by which all other Helles must be measured.

Got one from Bières Cultes Châtelet. An excellent beer of this style, with malt back and strong smell of freshly cut grass. Excellent beer!
