This is the London breweries Helles lager that they brew all year round, using Pilsner malt, and Perle & Hallertauer Tradition hops. They say that this beer combines the body of the Pilsner with the hops of the Helles, thus loosing the maltyness found in the Helles style. I served this straight out of the fridge.

Appearance: A crystal clear pale gold colour, with a thin and short lived white head.
Aroma: Just like sourdough bread, hints of that classic German spicy yeast.
Flavour: A very clean flavour, with some grain notes coming through. Hints of some cider notes.
Body: Light, refreshing, and perfectly carbonated
Aftertaste: A nice clean bitterness.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, but just. A very clean and refreshing beer but not much taste. It has its place, especially in summer, but is nothing special.
Price Range: The last of the monthly beer subscription at £19 (usually £24) for 8 beers, so approximately £2.40 for a 330ml bottle, a decent price, I could see myself buying this again but at a beer bar out in the sun.
Food Pairings: Salty, not too flavoursome bar snacks would be best fitting for this beer, but if you were picking a meal then a white fish would be best.
