Ibushi Godspeed Style Helles Lagerbier

 A clean pale lager from Toronto, Ibushi Godspeed Style Helles Lagerbier is a 4.5% brew that comes in 355mL cans. Created by the team at Godspeed Brewery, Ibushi is a clear and effervescent golden lager with durable white suds.



The beer has a fairly spicy noble hop nose, with lots of graininess and a slight metallic quality. For a low alcohol lager, Ibushi has a pretty robust flavour—dry and grainy with a bit of sweetness and respectable noble hop bitterness, alongside a notable touch of wood smoke. My complaint with this lager is its thinness—the texture is not as crisp or crispy as I’d have liked it to be.

Ibushi has great flavour, but it’s hampered by the wispy texture. A nice enough little lager, but not up to the standard of a brewery responsible for other magnificent lagers.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
