hopIQ found 10 beers that share Urfass's spicy and bitter character. Urfass is Arcobräu's Bavarian Premium Hell: spicy on the palate, with a notably rounded bitterness. It is brewed in Moos, where beer has been made under the Bavarian purity law since 1567, and where the first Helles went into the kettle in 1910. The brewery calls the Helles the favourite beer of its region, a golden beer with a lightly full-bodied, easy-drinking character.
