Grantler Hell is a Bavarian Helles with a mild malty note up front and a pleasantly bitter finish from the hops.

It is sold in bottles and cans.

◐ Taste

Clean malty entry with light bread and cereal flavors that flow smoothly across the palate. A pleasantly bitter finish emerges in the mid-palate, driven by restrained Edelpilz hop character, maintaining balance rather than dominating. The overall impression is approachable and easy-drinking without sacrificing definition.
