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.
