Hausbrauer Hell

Tap to rate

A Franconian-Bavarian Helles, brilliantly clear and pale yellow under a fine white head. Sweetish malt and grain notes lead the nose and return on the first sip. The body is full, with a fine prickle of carbonation and light honey notes reminiscent of acacia and linden blossom. It closes with a firm bitterness rather than a soft malty fade.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the promised sweetish malt and grain foundation, supported by a full body that belies the moderate 4.5% ABV. Honey notes persist through the mid-palate, balanced by a crisp carbonation. The finish pivots decisively toward a firm, lingering bitterness rather than fading into malt sweetness.

◑ Finish

A pronounced bitter edge dominates the close, providing structure and preventing sweetness from becoming cloying. The aftertaste remains dry and clean, with no soft malty rebound.
