Faust Bayrisch Hell

Tap to rate

A fine floral scent, straw-like, with a light and balanced maltiness behind it. Mild and sparkling-fresh in the mouth. Bright pale yellow in the glass, a Helles without frills. At 4.8 percent ABV and 11.4 percent original gravity it stays easy-going, and the malt follows quietly all the way to the finish. It is brewed in Miltenberg on the River Main.

◐ Taste

Crisp and light on entry, with a well-integrated malty sweetness that balances without dominating. The palate remains clean and grassy, with subtle bread-like notes emerging mid-palate. Low bitterness (18 IBU) allows the delicate malt character to shine, while the body stays refreshingly smooth-drinking.
