Altenberger Brauhaus Hell is more in the Vollbier style than a Munich Helles. It's malty and grainy with a lingering dry finish due to the ample hopping.

Schmitt-Bräu Helles (contract brewed by Günther-Bräu) on tap at Tambosi

Schmitt-Bräu Helles on tap at the brewery is an unfiltered golden example of the style with creamy head and grainy nose. The malty palate is similarly grainy with restrained hops mingling in before the lingering semi-dry semi-bitter finish.

Hütt’n Hausbräu Hell

 This Helles is brewed by Rittmayer Hallerndorf and the least interesting of the three Hausbiers. If all you drink is light beer, this balanced brew will do the trick. It’s got a zesty element and a lingering semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.

Rosenauer Hofbräu Helles Engela

Rosenauer Hofbräu is one of the smallest breweries in Franconia. Though a relative newcomer, it has some strong adherents and this unusual Helles is a good reason why. The Engela is rounded but nothing like a Munich Helles so if looking for that, you'll have to go elsewhere.
