Hans im Glück

Tap to rate

Hans im Glück, named after the Grimm fairy tale, is the brewery's light beer at 2.8 % alcohol. It is brewed as a pale Franconian lager from water, barley malt, hops and yeast. Grassy hop notes and a touch of fresh bread lead the aroma. The palate is lively and lean, yet firmer and rounder than its strength suggests, with a fine malt sweetness held in balance by a restrained hop bitterness and a grainy, crisp finish.

◐ Taste

The palate enters lean and lively, with a crisp malt sweetness that belies the beer's modest alcohol content. Mid-palate reveals a fine firmness and roundness, sustained by judicious noble hop bitterness that remains restrained rather than aggressive. The finish is dry and grainy, with a clean, mineral-driven conclusion.
