Description

Camden Town Brewery's flagship beer combines two beer styles; it has the crisp, dryness of a Pilsner, but also the gentle hopping of a Helles. This results in an easy drinking beer that is refreshing with a dry hop finish. The long, slow maturation results in a depth of flavour unseen in many commercial lagers. There are faint hints of lemon, bread and a slight sharpness from the aroma, and the taste is beautifully balanced between sweet and bitter. All this is attractively packaged in a bottle that would look the part in any picnic hamper.

The hints of bread in Camden Hells Lager make this a great choice with sandwiches as it mirrors similar flavours in the bread. The malt character also reflects the nutty chickpea and sesame flavours in falafel making this a good match too. It also works well with barbecued vegetables that require a beer that will not overpower the delicate flavours with too much alcohol or bitterness. The floral, earthy, grassy and light lemon flavours from the hops thoroughly compliment almost all vegetables.

Where to Buy

Camden Hells Lager can be purchased in both bottles and cans from most M&S stores.
