Beers similar to Helles Lager

Helles Lager·Canada·4.7% ABV·One of 437 Helles Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Helles Lager's herbal and bready character. A Munich-style pale lager brewed with German malt. Pale gold and bright, with an aroma of fresh bread dough, light honey and a quiet floral hop note. The palate is soft and rounded, malt-led without turning sweet, and the noble hopping adds only a herbal edge and just enough bitterness to keep it dry. Medium carbonation and a clean, short finish.
