Description

Helles - Pale Lager - All Grain Kit

Brauwerk Hoffman is the first Microbrewery & Bierhalle specializing in traditional German style lagers, ales and German inspired food.  Brauwerk Hoffman introduced us to German style beers in 2019.  The first brewery in the Pontiac in Campbell's Bay.  Since then they have opened another brewery in Rockland, Ontario.  This wonderful German brewery was kind enough to share their Helles Lager with us.

“Helles” means “pale in colour,” as these beers are often golden. The German-style helles lager is a bit rounder or fuller-bodied than light lager and even all-malt pilsners. Helles lager beers offer a touch of sweetness that balance a measurable addition of spicy German hop flavour and light bitterness.

The Helles from Brauwerk Hoffman is a clear yet full-bodied beer.  It is low in bitterness and mildly sweet. This lager describes what a true Pontiaker is - Canada at its finest.
