Jailbreak Helles Lager

Tap to rate

Jailbreak follows the German Helles tradition, built on Bohemian Pilsner, Vienna and melanoidin malt with Hallertauer Mittelfrüh as the only hop. Soft, bready grain meets a floral hop note, and neither side pushes forward. The malty side stays restrained, the hopping modest, and the beer ends crisp and clean. At 4.2 % it sits a little below the usual strength for the style. Part of the core range since 2019.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp with a mild, grainy maltiness that recalls fresh bread and soft grain sweetness. The mid-palate remains clean and uncluttered, with modest bitterness from the Hallertauer settling into the background. The finish is bone-dry and refreshing, with no lingering sweetness or harsh edges.
