Festival Helles

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, stable white head forms on pour and disperses to a thin film of lacing across the glass. Carbonation is crisp and persistent, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Noble hops lead on the nose with a refined herbal and slightly spicy character, supported by soft breadiness from the Pils malt base. A delicate layer of malt sweetness sits beneath, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolic notes—clean and grain-forward throughout.

◐ Taste

Crisp entry showcases the interplay between smooth malt backbone and restrained noble-hop bitterness. The mid-palate balances subtle sweetness with a light grainy character, while the 18 IBU provide enough bite to prevent flatness without dominating. Finish remains dry and clean, with a gentle hoppy fade.

◑ Finish

Medium-short finish with a lingering noble-hop character that fades gradually into a clean, neutral aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or harsh bitterness remains.
