Helles is a classic German-style pale lager, popularised in Bavaria. It’s a style that is subtle, delicate and designed to showcase malt flavours, with a crisp finish and very little hop bitterness. A long lagering period is used to achieve a beer that is bright, clean and refreshing. 4.5% ABV and vegan friendly.

Nice clean taste, nothing special

Ok lager

Clean and refreshing – excellent as a crisp lager. Not as much depth of flavour as other beers, but then that might be the point of a Helles. Very drinkable.

The best Helles I’ve tasted outside of Germany! Clean, fresh and a masterclass in brewing from the Manchester Magicians.

Probs the best lager I’ve had
James –
Top draw. The packaging talks about helles giving no room for error when brewing, and they’ve responded well. Just the right balance between sweet malt and hop bitterness.
Sebastian –
Nice, but a little too euro fizzy for my palate.
Patrick –
Crisp and clean, however the lack of bitterness makes it a “meh” from me.
Luke –
A lovely example for a Helles lager, Cloudwater impressing again.

Decent beer but nothing special and I personally am not a huge fan of Helles lagers.
