Innviertler Hell

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue characteristic of a traditional Helles, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings evenly to the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presentation without excessive fizz or turbidity.

◌ Aroma

The nose is delicate and balanced, with gentle malt sweetness from Upper Austrian barley at its foundation. Subtle floral and herbal notes emerge from the Hallertauer hops, complemented by a light, clean character derived from the open fermentation process—no aggressive phenolics, just the soft breath of traditional lagering.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, malty body that carries the grain character of the regional Malz without heaviness. Bittering from the Hallertauer is restrained at 18 IBU, offering structure and balance rather than assertiveness; the finish dries gently, allowing the natural hop resin to linger without astringency. The overall impression is one of honest, straightforward elegance.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, fading smoothly with a whisper of hop bitterness and grain sweetness in equilibrium. No harsh edges or lingering astringency; instead, a clean, refreshing conclusion that invites the next sip.
