Fäßla Helles
Brewery: Fäßla
Town: Bamberg
Style: Helles 5.4%

Head: white
Nose: faint grain
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, light grain, subdued hops
Finish: lingering, very slightly bitter
Served: on tap at the Lauber Garten.
Impression: Fäßla has jumped on the Franconian Helles bandwagon. It’s certainly heading in the Munich direction with a balanced malty palate featuring little hops. Served in a Krug, it’s soft and less carbonated, so probably more enjoyable for me. The lingering finish meanders a bit but it’s a serviceable enough beer. I won’t likely have it again, as the brewery makes better beers in more traditional Franconian styles. I generally try these beer from bottles rather than waste a beer on tap, but saw it on tap at the Lauber Garten so figured I’d give a shot.
Back to the beer list.
