Reutberg Helles if you want a leaner, cleaner finish,
Scheyern Helles if you want a touch more roundness.
Both nail the Bavarian helles formula—pale, malty, restrained noble hops—but Reutberg edges drier while Scheyern sits fractionally softer. The ABV difference is negligible; it's about malt character, not alcohol warmth.

Reutberg Helles
Reutberg tastes like someone refined the helles down to its skeleton—pale malt sweetness, a whisper of honey, then it vanishes. The finish snaps clean, almost mineral, with a faint grainy dryness that keeps you reaching for another sip. It's not aggressive, just precisely calibrated. You taste the lager yeast doing its job.
Scheyern Helles
Scheyern arrives a touch rounder in the mouth, with slightly sweeter malt notes that linger a beat longer than Reutberg's. Still crisp and dry-finishing, but with a softer backbone—more like biting into fresh bread than sipping filtered water. The noble hops sit quieter here, letting the malt conversation lead.
