🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 253 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

The brewery's core Helles, a bottom-fermented full-strength lager that carries the name of its home town; it was previously sold as Wieninger Helles. It is bright straw yellow and brewed from pale barley malt with Hallertauer Perle hops at an original gravity of 11.6 °P. The taste is soft and mild: light bready malt with a gentle sweetness that stays ahead of the restrained bitterness, joined by a fine spicy hop note. Balanced and uncomplicated, made as a beer for thirst.
