ARMADA SACRED THRONE HELLES LAGER

WALLENPAUPACK NO WAKE ZONE LAGER WITH ORANGE PEEL
Summertime helles lager with adjunctive navel orange peel tang covering tingly lemondrop tartness and mild floral herbage over doughy wheat-wafered baked breading.
OAKFLOWER LAMMY HELLES LAGER

NOTCH SALEM LAGER
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, highly rated year-round Bavarian helles lager disappoints. Corny rice starching, sour lemon rotted spritz and hay-like barnyard acridity creep above buckwheat-pasted buttered biscuit base in tepid manner – despite its acclaim elsewhere.
SCHILLING GLIMMEN SMOKED HELLES
On tap at Taphouse 15, unique Bavarian-styled golden helles lager utilizes Lukr Side Pour faucet to soften the foamily frothed creaminess heading the slightly cherrywood-mesquite smoked maize dryness and phenol hop spicing. But its desolate campfire smokiness recedes too fast, leaving some aridity along the pilsner malted bottom. On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar ’25, cherrywood-smoked helles lager gained mesquite wood tones for weedy peat mossing and reedy cured meating. Easygoing lightweight fare despite smoky tangibles.

SLOOP HELLES LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, sparkling lemon spritz gains lightly spiced pilsner malting and musty barnyard graining as mild fungi musk slips thru.
JACK’S ABBY HOUSE LAGER
On tap at Plank Pizza ’22, simply smooth helles lager provides muskily rustic Noble hop herbage, brisk lemon twist, pasty clay grouting and meager orange-oiled lemongrass snips to delicate salted cracker base, besting most stylistic competitors. On tap at Growler & Gill ’20, pleasant helles lager drapes dewy peat moss, dry stalked corn and grassy hop astringency over mild doughy wheat base. A fine rustic moderation.
THREES WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HELLES
On tap at Ambulance. Though spring flowered honey nectar description may be overstated, muted floral-daubed citrus spicing stays zestful as mild herbal whims waver over doughy white breading in crisply light-bodied setting.
UNTIED LONG DAYS SHORT YEARS HELLES LAGER
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, sedate raw-honeyed citrus dryness permeates spongy sourdough bottom, picking up mild Noble-hopped herbage to contrast slight sugar-spiced lager malts.
