Landskron Hell

Tap to rate

Malt-forward and rich in caramel on the nose, with fine honey notes running through it. Finely sparkling at the first sip, then a slim, elegant body with a well-integrated hop bitterness that gives way to a harmonious, malty finish. 4.5 % ABV at 10.9 % original gravity, deep golden-yellow with a firm, fine-pored head. A bottom-fermented Schankbier from the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse, which has brewed since 1869.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Landskron Hell

◎ Appearance

Deep golden-yellow with excellent clarity and a firm, fine-pored head that clings persistently to the glass. Bright and inviting, the beer displays the characteristic light straw hue typical of a well-crafted Helles. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich caramel and malt character, immediately malty and inviting on first approach. Delicate honey notes weave through the malted barley backdrop, creating a warm, grain-forward profile. The aroma remains clean and approachable, with no sharp edges or overpowering elements.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a slim, elegant body that carries the malt-driven character through seamlessly. Well-integrated hop bitterness (18 IBU) emerges mid-palate without harshness, providing just enough counterpoint to the underlying sweetness. The finish transitions smoothly from malty richness into a harmonious, bready conclusion.
