Heliosphere

Tap to rate

Heliosphere is a Helles-style lager built on Bohemian pilsner malt with a share of Caramunich, which gives it a slightly rounder body than a light lager or pilsner. The malt brings soft bread, a light honey note and a touch of caramel sweetness. Magnum, Tettnang and Mittelfrüh hops balance it with a spicy, herbal character and a faint floral edge, leading to a clean finish with gentle bitterness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, grainy malt character reminiscent of fresh bread and light honey. Beneath lies a measured herbal and spicy quality from the noble hops, with a delicate floral whisper that adds complexity without overwhelming. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh or oxidized notes.

◐ Taste

The palate begins with a rounded, slightly sweet entry bolstered by Caramunich malt, which lends gentle caramel notes without heaviness. Mid-palate develops the herbal and spicy hop character—Magnum, Tettnang and Mittelfrüh working in concert—balanced against the malt's honeyed softness. Bitterness arrives restrained and clean, finishing dry without any astringency.
