Krombacher Hell
Krombacher Hell is a golden lager in which the malt sets the tone. The nose shows fresh bread, grain and a light floral, green hop note from Hallertau Siegel hops. The palate is soft and rounded, with gentle malt sweetness, hints of biscuit and lightly toasted grain and only a faint bitterness. The finish stays smooth and slightly sweet. The brewery presents it as a return to the pale lager brewed in Krombach more than a century ago, hopped noticeably lighter than its Pils.
