Helles


Tried one of these this evening while making dinner for the family, it's a Helles (Lager) by Cornish brewers Verdant, it's delicious! Better known for their hazy pales and IPA's Verdant have been experimenting with diverse styles this year, perhaps more than ever, anyway they are consummate professionals and pretty much everything they do is of a very high standard! This is no exception, crisp, light and clear as a bell, with lovely notes of toasted Brioche and dried flowers. Hops in this one are quite simple (for Verdant) a single drop of Hallertauer Mittelfruh on the hot side, but if truth be known, that works just fine for this style!
