Hessisches Löwen-Bier Hell

Tap to rate

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.

◐ 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.

◑ Finish

Medium-short, dry finish with lingering herbal notes from the noble hops. The aftertaste is clean and uncluttered, fading to a pleasant, grainy memory without residual sweetness.
