Dithmarscher 1775 Helles Lager

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale gold colour with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating a refined visual presentation typical of the Helles style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a bright, gently fruity citrus character—lemon zest is most prominent—from the late noble hop addition. Supporting this is a clean, soft malt base with subtle fresh bread notes and a whisper of grain sweetness, free of any harsh or oxidative character.

◐ Taste

The palate is deliberately light and refreshing, with a mild malt foundation delivering subtle bread and grain flavours. The citrus character from the late hop addition carries through the mid-palate without aggressive bitterness; the 18 IBU provide gentle structure without overshadowing the delicate malt profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with the citrus notes fading quickly to leave a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or harsh bitterness—the beer concludes with the character it promises.

Serve at 4–7°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The sturdy German stein maintains temperature and keeps carbonation intact. Built for long, convivial drinking.
