Tap to rate

Brightly golden and unfiltered, with a malty nose and a subtle hop aroma that gives the beer an easy lightness. A fine bitterness is rounded off by a light malt note, easy-drinking and gently bitter. The fine bottom-fermenting yeast stays in the beer on purpose; organic barley and hops, 4.9% ABV. A creamy, voluminous head tops the glass.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Schmucker Bio Hell

◎ Appearance

A brightly golden hue with excellent transparency, characteristic of a well-made Helles. The unfiltered nature allows fine yeast particles to remain suspended, contributing to a soft, hazy quality in the glass. A creamy, voluminous head sits atop with fine retention and delicate lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt notes that form the backbone of the aroma profile. Subtle noble hop character adds a gentle, floral lightness without dominating. The fine yeast character contributes a clean, slightly yeasty undertone that does not detract from the overall clarity.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with the organic barley foundation providing a doughy sweetness on the palate. Bitterness develops gently in the mid-palate, well-balanced and never sharp, while subtle noble hops add a delicate herbal definition. The body remains light and clean-drinking throughout, with a fine carbonation adding crispness.
