Egger Heller Jokl

Tap to rate

A pale lager without frills: mild because it uses little hop, light in colour because it uses little malt. The Heller Jokl is the brewery's simple beer for a life that is already complicated enough. Brewed in Egg in the Bregenz Forest with decoction mashing and spring water from the Winterstaude, without flash pasteurisation, and bottled in returnable glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, reflecting the brewery's minimalist approach. Soft grain notes emerge from the malt base, with only faint herbal and grassy undertones from the noble hops. The character is fresh and unadorned, dominated by the crisp, neutral qualities imparted by spring water and careful brewing technique.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly malty, with gentle sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness from the low IBU load. The palate remains light and refreshing throughout, never heavy or cloying, allowing the pure quality of the malt and water to speak. Bitterness remains subtle and fades quickly, leaving room for the beer's straightforward drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, with no lingering aftertaste. Drying sensation comes from mild carbonation rather than hop bite or alcohol warmth, emphasizing the beer's role as a thirst-quenching everyday lager.
