Von Trapp Helles

VON TRAPP's Helles Lager offers a delightful nod to traditional German brewing techniques, crafted right in Vermont. This golden lager pours bright and clear, embodying the very essence of its German namesake, which translates to "bright." Expect a floral hop aroma infused with subtle notes of spice and herbs, thanks to the classic combination of Perle and Tettnanger hops. The pilsner malt provides a foundation of bready malt character, balancing the hops and yielding a dry, crisp finish that refreshes with every sip. With an ABV of 4.9% and an IBU of 20, this Helles strikes a harmonious balance between flavor and drinkability. It’s a versatile companion at the table, pairing beautifully with a range of dishes. Consider matching it with grilled bratwurst, soft pretzels, or a light chicken schnitzel to enhance its malty undertones. The subtle hop presence also complements seafood dishes, making it a fine choice alongside a plate of shrimp or a simple fish fry. For the best experience, serve VON TRAPP's Helles Lager at a temperature between 45 and 50°F, just cool enough to highlight its crisp characteristics without masking its delicate aromas. A traditional stange or a simple pilsner glass will accentuate the lager's effervescence and allow its aromatic profile to shine. Whether you're exploring the world of German-style beers or seeking a crisp, refreshing lager, this Helles promises an authentic taste of craftsmanship.
