Simon Hell

Franconia is a real beer paradise, not least due to the abundance of local raw materials Grain thrives wonderfully in its sun-drenched regions Most of the ripe grain is processed directly into the finest malt in a well-known Bamberg malt house and meets regional hops in Franconia's breweries A large hop-growing region is Hersbruck in the Nuremberg region Various varieties of the green gold grow in the extensive hop gardens, which offer brewers a luxurious range of aromas and flavors The Simon brewery from Lauf is located virtually in the neighborhood of this hop region and can draw from the full For their fine Helles, they have married regional barley with the good hops from Hersbruck and combined them into a typical Franconian lager beer

The brew presents itself in a delicately cloudy golden hue in the glass and rounds off its perfect appearance with a crown of fine-pored foam A malty aroma with mild caramel notes meets freshly mown grass on the nose The first sip reveals a delicately balanced body with mild malt and fresh hops: pithy grain and toffee with citrus-fresh notes, freshly mown grass and hoppy bitterness A dry, earthy finish crowns the beer enjoyment

The pale ale from Simon is a quaffable beer that tastes wonderful with grilled food
