Bischofshof Regensburger Hell

Tap to rate

Brewed since 1649 in Regensburg's shadow, Bischofshof's Hell has claimed 20 DLG gold medals — and you'll taste why from the first sip. Crystal-clear pale gold, bone-dry and impossibly clean, with soft pilsner malt and barely a whisper of noble hops. This is what a Helles tastes like when 375 years of water and tradition line up perfectly.
