Flensburger Edles Helles
Flensburger Edles Helles follows a recipe from 1955 and returned to the range in 2013 for the brewery's 125th anniversary, 58 years after it had last been brewed. It is golden and brilliantly clear with a fine, stable head. The nose shows honeyed malt with a light floral touch; on the palate come ripe apple, fresh bread, cereal and a hop-derived lemon note. Bitterness stays very restrained, the body is soft with gentle carbonation, and the beer is lagered cold in the brewery's cellars before filtration.
