Tasting Notes
CrispLightMalty
North Brewing started in the North-End of Halifax, Nova Scotia under the name Bridge Brewing, but have since changed names to North Brewing. In the spring of 2019 they moved to much larger new brewery on Portland St. in Dartmouth. With a strong commitment to environmental responsibility, North Brewing strives to be a zero emissions craft brewery while producing exceptional, hand-crafted beers.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a crystal clear brilliant gold colour with long lasting white foam. This lager has rich aromas of freshly baked bread, subtle honey, and a floral and herbal hop aroma. The palate drinks very smooth and is balanced nicely thanks to refreshing carbonation and just the right amount of bitterness.
Method
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 is subtle in flavour and hop character and it is the foundation for a lot of the industrial pale lagers that you see all over the world.
