Oettinger Helles
The Helles is a pale golden lager of 4.7 percent brewed to an original gravity of 11.4 degrees Plato; it was earlier sold as Oettinger Hell. The brewery puts its fine malt aroma and easy drinkability ahead of any hop character. Light bread, cereal and a touch of straw come through on the nose; the palate adds biscuit and gentle malt sweetness, and the finish closes with only a light, grassy bitterness.
