🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 159 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

An alcohol-free pale lager that the brewery brought out in 1987, among the first of its kind on the German market. It stands light gold and prickling in the glass, its colour recalling the Münchner Hell it is modelled on. A light scent of hay and herbs opens it, built on pilsner and Munich malt with Herkules, Taurus and Hallertauer Tradition hops. The taste is spicy and full for the category, with a restrained sweetness and a finely hopped character. Brewed at 6.5 degrees Plato.
