Berliner Perle

Brauhaus Lemke
Germany·Helles Lager
Tap to rate

A classic Helles from Berlin-Mitte: lightly spicy in aroma with a floral nose, malty on the palate yet dry, finished by a gentle hop note. Aroma hops from the Hallertau – Perle, Magnum, Tradition and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh – give it the spice and the flowers, while Pilsner and caramel malt make up the grist. 4.9% ABV, brewed by hand in Berlin-Mitte.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Berliner Perle

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. Fine, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is lively and sustained, visible as steady streams of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate spice and floral notes characteristic of Hallertau noble hops. Subtle malty undertones provide a soft sweetness without overwhelming the hop-driven profile. A clean, grassy dimension supports the composition, with no off-notes or harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a light malty foundation, anchored by Pilsner and caramel malt character that is never cloying. Mid-palate maintains excellent balance: the malt provides structure while noble hop bitterness (23 IBU) arrives with precision, finishing dry and crisp. The body remains lean and refreshing without sacrificing flavor complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a lingering noble hop note and a whisper of caramel malt sweetness. A clean, dry aftertaste invites the next sip without any astringency or residual heaviness.
