The excellent Thornbridge brewery has very little left to prove, however this does not stop it from turning out one great new beer after another. In this respect, Lukas Helles Lager continues the brewery’s winning formula.

In the glass, this Helles Lager pours an attractive bright yellow gold capped by a slight white head, releasing an aroma of herbs, malt, caramel, and hops.

The taste is simple, but with a certain finesse that demonstrates a mastery of the brewing process, with fine malt, caramel and hops flavours balanced by a light dryness, and delicate hops note.

After this date, the beer is still perfectly drinkable, but may lose some of its flavour or nutritional value.
