🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 190 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

A mild pale lager brewed at 11.4 °P that stands next to the Lager as the second beer always on tap. Light golden-yellow in the glass, it centres on a soft, rounded malt note with a touch of fresh bread and grain sweetness, while the bitterness stays restrained and herbal in the background. Freshness and balance come before hop character, which makes it the gentler of the two everyday beers.
