India Pale Lager·Netherlands·6% ABV·One of 22 India Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Helena's hoppy and citrusy character. A refreshing lager brewed with the hop intensity of an IPA: Nelson Sauvin brings floral notes, white grape and citrus, and the clear, bottom-fermented body stays thirst-quenching with a nicely balanced bitterness. Helena is named after the woman whose disappearance set off the Trojan War in Greek myth. A 6.0% lager for hop lovers who still want crisp.
