Keesmann Hell

The Bamberg brewery Keesmann is known above all for its excellent Herrenpils, but in addition to the classic beer, the long-established institution in the cathedral city also brews an excellent Helles The delicately spicy Franconian beer is enjoyed far beyond the borders of the world cultural heritage site and delights beer drinkers from near and far We like to drink Bamberg's favorite with a barbecue: The Helle goes wonderfully with tender chicken or a fine grilled sausage with hearty mustard and sauerkraut But grilled vegetables with a little olive oil and Mediterranean herbs also complement the beer's flavor palette well

The appearance of the Helle is impressive: crystal clear and the color of liquid gold, the pale Keesmann flows into the glass A generous amount of snow-white foam crowns the beer and invites you to take your first sip The aroma, which is brought to light by the pleasantly dosed carbon dioxide, is also enticing: Roasted malt meets freshly mown grass, subtle citrus fruit and spicy herbs on the nose The first sip reveals a light-footed body with a strong character, soft malt notes caress the palate with a beautiful sweetness Alongside a subtle acidity, a strong bitterness builds up, which increases towards the finish

Keesmann's pale ale is a craft-brewed classic with delicately balanced flavors and a wonderful spiciness
