Helles, meaning “light” in German, is in reference to the beer’s color only as the strength of this style is substantial. This straw-blonde lager is similar to a pilsner but is slightly maltier and slightly less hopped. Lyon Helles is easy to drink and extremely refreshing. The name is an homage to Lyon & Healy, a company now known for making harps, that used to manufacture reed organs and pianos on Harmonia Road, a short drive from our brewery.
