golden beer in glass with huge head and bottle
Ochsener Edel Hell

Brewery: Privatbrauerei Oechsner
Town: Ochsenfurt
Style: Helles 5.2%
Color: golden
Head: white, rocky
Nose: faint hop
Body: medium
Palate: dry, fruity, hoppy
Finish: clean, semi-bitter

Served: from a bottle bought in the area

Impression: Gorgeous looking Helles with a deep golden hue and massive rocky head. Nice mix of grain and hops in the dry for the style palate. This could easily pass as a Pils at many breweries. It might disappoint those looking for a traditional Helles as it lacks the malt backbone. It’s nothing mind-blowing but it holds its ground after a lovely hoppy Landbier from Wiesen and certainly a nice beer for those who Iike theirs dry.

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.
