They distinguish themselves from pilsners in that they are more malt-forward, presenting notes of bread crumb (as opposed to crust), fresh grain, and, on occasion, biscuit, and have little to no bitterness to their finish.

GOLD:Okanagan Spring Brewery 1516(Delta)A well-balanced golden lager, named for the birth year of the purity law in the Bavarian tradition. SILVER:Deep Cove Trapper John’s Lager(North Vancouver)This classic “helles” lager with a light body and hoppy floral notes is food-friendly. BRONZE:Parallel 49 Craft Lager(Vancouver)A crisp helles using local hops shows more body and a slightly peppery flavour.
