About This Beer
Hopburgh Helles is a unique Munich-style lager at 4.7% ABV, crafted with Irish lager and Vienna malt alongside German and North American hops. This combination produces a clean, crisp, and aromatic Helles Lager with delicate layers of flavour. Expect bright notes of lemon, honey, and freshly baked bread, lifted by floral hops and balanced with resinous and spicy undertones. Naturally carbonated through a lengthy cold conditioning process, it offers a smoother mouthfeel and a long-lasting fluffy white head that makes every sip a pleasure.
As part of our Irish Craft Beer range at TheCru.ie, Hopburgh Helles reflects the skill and dedication of modern Irish brewing. While staying true to the traditional Bavarian Helles style, this beer adds an Irish character through carefully selected malts and hops, creating something both familiar and distinctive.
