Strawberry Hells

Camden Town Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 United Kingdom · Lager · One of 140 Lagers in hopIQ

The classic Hells lager brewed with fresh strawberry purée — restrained enough that it stays a lager. Crisp, tart and refreshing at 4.6 percent. Huell Melon hops add a melon note that sits well with the strawberry. A summer beer, and the brewery's own line puts it best: here for a good time, not a long time.

pale goldenclearfine carbonationmoderate head

Aroma

Fresh strawberry purée leads the nose, backed by a subtle melon character from Huell Melon hops that adds dimensional fruit complexity without overwhelming the beer's clean lager base. Light Malz undertones provide gentle supporting structure, while the overall impression remains crisp and summery rather than perfumed or artificial.

Taste

The palate opens tart and refreshing, with strawberry flavour moving through the mid-palate alongside subtle tropical and melon notes. The base lager remains crisp and light, allowing the fruit character to shine without excessive sweetness; bitterness is minimal and well-integrated, never harsh. The finish is dry-leaning, letting the berry tartness linger pleasantly.
