Helles Lager
Brewers in Munich wanted to take the hugely popular Pilsner style and tweak it slightly to palates that wanted less bitterness. A light lager was born, still using noble German hops but just less of them. Helles is German for light: it’s light in flavour and hop character and it’s the foundation for a lot of the industrial pale lagers that you see all over the world.
