Helix
Helix is the pilsner of the core range, brewed year-round and described by the brewery as a hoppy, modern take on the German style. Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Perle go into the boil and whirlpool, giving pronounced hop flavour and a clean, bright bitterness. The beer is a translucent yellow, with subtle floral and herbal notes over a pale malt base that carries hints of bread dough and cracker. The finish is dry, crisp and snappy.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Helix
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
