Wiesener Helles
Brewery: Bürgerliches Brauhaus
Town: Wiesen (bei Aschaffenburg)
Style: Helles 4.7%
Color: golden
Head: white, rocky, nice lacework
Nose: spicy hops
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, malty, spicy hops
Finish: lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: from a bottle bought at the brewery
Impression: Gorgeous golden Helles with an ample rocky head and spicy hoppy nose. Balanced palate features a nice spicy hop element I hadn’t expected. The lingering finish is semi-dry with a nice bitterness. A surprising beer I wouldn’t peg as a Helles. If this is an indication, I’m glad I picked up an assorted case.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
