Toronto’s People’s Pint Brewing Company is the source of Helles Island
Unfiltered Lager, a Munich-style lager named in honour of NYC’s
famed/notorious immigration hub as “a celebration of American diversity
and a tribute to our friends to the south.” The beer clocks in at 5%.
It’s a slightly hazy golden lager sold in 473mL cans.
Helles
Island has a substantial sweet and grainy nose, with a hint of back-end
bitterness. Not crisp, exactly, but cracklin’ of mouthfeel, the beer
has a malt-forward flavour that drips with cereal notes and a back end
that bristles with dry, slightly floral hops.
This
little lager would have been better still had it been crisper, but as a
flavourful and full-bodied number, it was still pretty solid.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
