Holsten-Brauerei

Helles Lager·Germany·4.8% ABV·One of 495 Helles Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Holsten Edel's malty and floral character. Holsten Edel has been brewed since 1913 and is classed by the brewery as a Hellbier, the milder counterpart to its Pilsener. Original gravity and alcohol match the Pilsener at 11.2 °P and 4.8%, but the hopping is lighter at 23 bitterness units. The beer is bright gold, with soft grainy malt, a hint of bread, a touch of fruitiness and a gentle floral hop note in the aroma. The palate is rounded and lightly sweet, and the finish stays mild with only a short, spicy bitterness.
