Loncium Helles

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue with pronounced natural cloudiness from suspended yeast, creating a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of traditional Kellerbier. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation that generates delicate lacing along the glass. The yeast haze sits invitingly in the body, lending a rustic, unmanipulated quality.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with gentle noble-hop character—Spalter Select and Perle contribute herbal and slightly spicy notes—rounded by fresh, clean yeast esters that suggest bread dough and light fruit. Organic Pilsner malt brings a subtle biscuit undertone, while Cascade adds a whisper of citrus without dominating. The overall impression is harmonious and understated, never aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The entry is clean and crisp, with a light but distinct bitterness (25 IBU) that frames the palate without harshness. Mid-palate reveals soft, bready malt character from Pilsner and Carapils, complemented by a subtle fruitiness from the yeast. The beer maintains good body and fullness, finishing with a soft, lingering hop bitterness that feels natural and integrated rather than sharp.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and moderate in length, with the noble hops providing a gentle, lingering astringency. Residual yeast character persists softly, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste without sweetness or heaviness.
