4 Noses Brewing Company Foeder Helles

What the brewers say

“The newest lager to come out of our oak foeder.”

What our panel thought

“Hints of stone fruit and a light banana in the aroma complement more pronounced floral hops and clean malt notes. A touch of woody tannin creates a pleasant, defined edge over the sweet, grainy malt, and herbal, floral bitterness—tempering the sweetness and softening the bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Smoothly fragrant floral and caramel notes mingle in the nose, while a buffered herbal note plays against the broad but hefty malt body. Substantial without feeling weighty.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Liquid Mechanics Brewing Company Shifty

“Light touch of sulfur sets the lager stage, with a fine herbal hop aroma and faint backbone of clean cracker-like malt. A somewhat assertive bitterness lingers well into the finish, balanced by a light malt body, bright carbonation, and a clean, crisp finish.”

Outer Range Brewing Co Hirschgarten Helles Lager

“A modern twist on a classic style. Sweet grainy aroma with a nice touch of peach. Pumpernickel doughy malt plus an herbal and citrusy flavor, like light cucumber and soft oregano. Well balanced between the pleasant bitterness and sweetness. Hearty mouthfeel but very soft and unassuming. Spry malt character ends in a very clean and quick finish.”

Kros Strain Brewing Company Helles Creek

“Noble, earthy hop and subdued floral aromas with light bread following. Grainy with a hint of dark grapes, grassy hops, a roundedness in the mouthfeel. Clean and bright off-dry finish. Enjoyable and easy to drink.”
