hopIQ found 10 beers that share BIO-Helles's noble-hoppy and bready character. Golden and unfiltered, this Helles layers biscuit, honey and grain with light grassy, floral notes from the aroma hops Perle, Smaragd and Spalter Select, and an intensive mash adds to the full taste. It joined the year-round range after a May 2019 customer survey in which a narrow majority asked for a traditional Helles. Brewed in Oberelsbach with organic malt and hops, 5.5 % ABV.
