Schammelsdorfer Hell

Tap to rate

Schammelsdorfer Hell is the brewery's Helles, a full-bodied, lively pale lager with a malty base and a light, fine bitterness. It pours golden and brilliant under a medium head. Grainy malt and fresh bread dominate the nose, with a faint grassy, spicy hop note behind. The palate is soft and rounded with a touch of green apple, before the house hop character appears early and closes with an herbal bitterness that stays behind the grain rather than covering it.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and rounded, with a delicate touch of green apple that adds freshness and complexity. The house hop character comes through early in the mid-palate, developing into a refined herbal bitterness that integrates thoughtfully rather than dominating the malt backbone.
