🌍 United Kingdom · Helles Lager · One of 106 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Verdant Brewing Co, based in the Cornish town of Penryn, United Kingdom, brings a bright and inviting take on the classic Bavarian style with this Helles Lager. It pours a clear, pale golden straw colour beneath a fine, persistent white head. The aroma is delicate and clean, offering soft notes of fresh bread, cereal grain, and a gentle floral hop fragrance. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, medium-light body with a crisp malt sweetness balanced by subtle bitterness. The Cornish brewery's careful lagering process shines through in its polished, rounded character. The finish is refreshingly dry, clean, and lingering — a supremely drinkable, sessionable lager executed with evident craft and precision.
