Helios Brewing Poseidon Pale Ale

Poseidon shines a pale gold, like the morning sun glinting off the surface of the water. Fragrant floral and fruity notes lead to citrus and tropical notes on the palate, with sweet malt undertones and a solid bitterness. This American pale ale is one that retains the hop content typical of such beers, but has a higher malt body to match the bitterness.

While each of the other decal graphics of Helios’ beers only display the character’s torso and above, the Poseidon decal is a little different. For this Aussie-brewed California pale ale, the Helios team gave their designer this brief: “Obviously, Poseidon has to be surfing on a dolphin, wearing Aussie board shorts. Come on.”
