Ein Reinigendes Helles - German Lager

Hell/Helles means “light” in German and refers to the colour (as opposed to Dunkel that means dark). A Helles is a classic German lager style with more malt and a softer bitterness compared to a Pilsner. Our name means “a cleansing Helles” – a phrase uttered by an elderly German gentleman once, when we were drinking Helles in Bavaria.  This tells you everything you need to know about Bavaria's relationship with beer. The beer uses a 100% German Malt and Hops Bill. The acidulated malt is to control the mash pH.
