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

Hütt Helles is a golden Vollbier in the Munich manner, which the brewery describes as mild and malt-aromatic, rounded off by a pleasant hop note. Expect soft bready and cereal malt up front, a medium body and a faintly grassy, aromatic hop character that leaves a moderately bitter, slightly firmer finish than many Bavarian Helles. Brewed to 4.8 % ABV, it is poured on draught in Kassel pubs and sold in bottles across the region. Since late 2025 it has been brewed at Rheder in Brakel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy Pilsner malt notes — bready and slightly sweet — underpinned by a subtle cereal character. Noble hops contribute a restrained, grassy-herbal note that remains in the background, creating an approachable and clean aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a soft malt sweetness and bready character, then transitions to a medium body with gentle hop bitterness. The finish is moderately firm for a Munich Helles, with a persistent herbal-grassy hop note that prevents the beer from becoming too sweet or flat.

◑ Finish

A clean, dry finish with lingering hop character and a slight firmness that distinguishes this Helles from softer regional interpretations. The aftertaste is refreshing and uncluttered, inviting another sip.
