Bio Härle Lager Hell

Tap to rate

Malt and citrus in a pure, harmonious aroma, then a mild, spicy taste poised between malt and hops and a dry, harmonious finish. Straw-yellow, slightly opalescent, naturally hazy, 4.7 %. Long lagering at temperatures just below freezing gives it its drinkability, and a similar recipe was already brewed when the brewery was founded.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bio Härle Lager Hell

◎ Appearance

Straw-yellow with a delicate, slightly opalescent haze that catches the light gently. The naturally cloudy character, arising from extended cold lagering, gives the beer a soft, inviting appearance. Fine carbonation supports a modest, persistent head with good adhesion to the glass.

◌ Aroma

Clean, pure aromatics lead with soft malt sweetness and subtle citrus notes in harmony. A light spice character emerges underneath, suggesting noble hop work rather than assertive bittering. The nose remains balanced and integrated, with no harsh edges or off-notes—a hallmark of careful lagering.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with mild malt character and a whisper of bready grain, followed by a gentle spice impression that sits between sweetness and hop bitterness. Mid-palate remains smooth and drinkable, never heavy or cloying, with restrained bitterness (18 IBU) providing just enough structure. The beer feels balanced throughout, with no single element dominating.

◑ Finish

Dry and harmonious, with the spice and malt impressions fading cleanly into a crisp, refreshing close. The aftertaste is brief and pleasant, inviting another sip without lingering harshness.
