🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 239 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Hessisches Löwen-Bier Hell comes from the Hessisches Löwenbier brand, which began at a family brewery in Malsfeld and was kept alive by Hütt. The brewery calls it a smooth, craft-brewed speciality with a mild, independent character, made from raw materials supplied by local farmers. Expect pale straw colour, fresh hops over aromatic, straw-like malt and a hint of nuttiness in a clean, straightforward finish. It has 4.8 % ABV and has been brewed at Rheder in Brakel since late 2025.

Pale straw colour with brilliant clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings gently to the glass. The carbonation is evident but restrained, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that maintains good foam retention throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Fresh, noble hop character leads the nose with clean, herbal notes and a whisper of green grass. Beneath lies a delicate malt backbone with straw-like cereal tones and a subtle hint of hazelnut, creating an understated, harmonious aromatic profile typical of the Helles tradition.

◐ Taste

Clean, straightforward entry with soft malt sweetness and gentle grain character that evolves across the palate. The moderate bitterness from the Edelhopfen provides structure without aggression, while the hazelnut undertone adds mild complexity, finishing dry and refreshingly crisp.
