Hasseröder Hell

Hasseröder Brauerei
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 219 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Launched in 2022, the Hell is the brewery's malt-led counterpart to its pils. It pours a clear pale gold with a fine white head. The nose shows straw, light wholegrain bread, a touch of toast and grassy hops. On the palate grain, bread and a little honey sit over light to medium malt sweetness, with lively carbonation keeping it fresh. The finish brings a straw-like malt dryness and a moderate, grassy hop bitterness. The body sits a little lighter than the brewery's export.

Entry brings clean grain and bread flavors over a light to medium malt sweetness. A delicate honey note emerges in the mid-palate, rounded by the beer's brightness. Carbonation keeps the palate fresh and lively, preventing any heaviness while the malt foundation remains present throughout.
