🌍 Germany · Helles Lager · One of 179 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

Wulle Vollbier Hell brought the brand back in 2008, rebrewed from the handed-down recipe in consultation with a brewmaster of the former Wulle brewery. It is a bottom-fermented Helles made from barley malt and hops at an original gravity of 11.4 °P. The beer pours clear golden under a loose white head. Grain and soft white bread lead the nose; the palate shows a gentle malt sweetness with a faint tartness, and a restrained hop bitterness closes a soft, lightly carbonated finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wulle Vollbier Hell

◎ Appearance

Pours a clear, bright golden colour with excellent clarity. A loose, white head settles quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The carbonation is restrained, creating a delicate, fine bead rather than aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean grain and soft white bread character, grounded in a malty foundation. Noble hops provide a subtle, herbal undertone without dominating the bouquet. There is an overall freshness and simplicity that invites the palate without complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a gentle malt sweetness that carries the mid-palate with a soft, rounded texture. A faint tartness emerges to provide balance, while a restrained hop bitterness closes the profile with restraint. The palate remains smooth throughout, never harsh or astringent.
