Teisendorfer Hell leicht

Tap to rate

A bottom-fermented light beer and the lower-strength sibling of Teisendorfer Hell, brewed to an original gravity of 8.5 °P. It is straw yellow in the glass and slim in body. Pale barley malt gives a faint note of grain and white bread, while the aroma hops come through a little more clearly than in the full-strength version on the brewery's own scale. The overall impression is mild and refreshing, with little sweetness and a soft, low bitterness.
