Günther-Bräu Helles Vollbier

Günther Bräu Helles Vollbier is a balanced pale golden brew with a grainy, grassy hop nose and palate. The clean finish is just dry and bitter enough to make it moreish at 5%.

Grasser Urtyp Hell (bottle)

One of Franconia's brewing legends resides in Huppendorf. This Hells is a fine and refreshing example of the style with a semi-dry moreish finish and more hops than most.

Lindenbräu Tennen Hell

Lindenbräu Tennen Hell is quite dry and fairly hopped for a Helles so it is more Franconian than many of the new breed.

Düll Krautheimer Helles Lager on tap

Düll Krautheimer Helles Lagerbier is a balanced malty example of the style with their signature white pepper in both the nose and palate but it blends well. One of the driest Helles beers I've had.

Roth Helles on tap

Roth Helles is particularly hoppy for the stye on tap at Zum Roth and if you've been unimpressed with it in bottled form, give it a go here and you won't be disappointed.
