Our award-winning flagship beer! Unicorn was born in 1896 and was originally called Robinsons Best Bitter. Unusually light, agile, yet complex, Unicorn hasn't changed in over a hundred years.

Helles is a traditional German pale lager bier.

During fermentation, we add some Saaz for an earthy and floral hint and finally the Mandarina Bavaria hop to give an extra subtle hint of lemon complexity to the taste and aroma. Sweetness balanced with a light bitterness, delicately hopped, clear and light, it’s the epitome of a thirst-quenching lager bier. Expertly crafted, effortlessly smooth.
