Eifelbräu Helles Landbier

Bitburger Brauerei
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 163 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

A regional helles sold under the Eifelbräu name and brewed in Bitburg at 5.0 percent, refined with Siegelhopfen from the Südeifel nature park and a second hop addition of Perle and Tradition. It pours bright, clear gold with a white, fine head. The nose recalls a flowering meadow and forest honey, with white bread and a little lime zest behind. The first sip is fresh and lightly spicy, then a soft malt sweetness fills the palate before a mild but lasting bitterness brings it to a balanced close.

The nose is delicate and inviting, with prominent floral notes reminiscent of a blooming meadow, complemented by subtle honey undertones.
