Augustiner Lagerbier Hell

Description

Augustiner Lagerbier Helle, also widely known as, Augustiner Helles, is a refreshing, long-stored beer that’s mild, sparkling, and relatively light. This classic Bavarian lager features fresh and fruity lemon notes, giving it a pleasing citrusy flavour. Like most German beers, it’s best served cold and is brewed in accordance with the German purity laws, meaning it’s made with just water, barley, and hops. A long secondary fermentation results in a lightly hoppy finish and an overall crisp, smooth flavour.

Helles, or Hell beer, is a type of German pale lager typically produced in the south of Germany. The word “hell” in German can be translated as bright, light, or pale in English. Beers such as Augustiner Helles are usually full-bodied and light in colour. They are slightly sweet with a low level of bitterness compared to other beers. A filtering process before bottling ensures these beers are usually clear, although some establishments serve unfiltered versions.
