Weihenstephaner Helles
Weihenstephaner Helles joined the range in May 2020 as a milder, lighter companion to the Original Helles. It pours golden yellow under a compact, fine-pored head, and the nose is gently floral, a trait the brewery credits to the Saphir aroma hop, used together with Select. The first sip is soft, with bready pale malt and a light honeyed sweetness, lifted by fresh carbonation and a subtle hop bouquet. Bitterness stays in the background, and the finish is round and clean.
