About this deal
The taste is similarly well-balanced, with a subtle sweetness that is complemented by a slight bitterness from the hops. Crazy to think how long I’ve wanted to drink this specific beer, as Helles is one of my favorite styles. Hells (or Helles) simply means pale in German and describes the malty, easy-to-drink beer that is lovingly referred to as 'liquid bread'.
Drop some thoughts on the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) plus your overall impression. Huge selection of beer which changes all the time - you could easily never drink the same beer twice (but I now have some firm favourites). Pours light straw coloured with minimal visable carbonation and a tight bubbled white head that leaves a nice amount of lacing .One of the standout features of Augustiner Helles is its aroma, which is a delicate balance of sweet malt and floral hops.
One of the first Munich ales I tasted many years ago and it’s fantastic I can now have a bottle every other weekend or so. Augustiner's Helles is the Bavarian answer to a Czech pilsner but with a less tangy hop character, more balance and subtlety with a citrus fruit and floral-hop aroma. The taste is full but mellow , a pleasant bitterness throughout with citric acid , grass and straw . If you’re wanting to explore the incredible world of German brews, then these pedigree pints are the perfect place to start. From one of my favourite breweries in Munich, this Helles Lager is light, clean, smooth and has a pleasant sweetness from the malt.
It is a classic Bavarian Helles, which means it is a light-colored lager with a moderate level of carbonation and a crisp, clean taste. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this.
