Kraftpaule Helles

Because the Stuttgart-based Kraftpaule team has a great fondness for light-colored beers, they also have a normal-speed Helles in their range in addition to their Schnellen Hellen The brewers see their creation as a gentle introduction to craft beer Actually, the Helles is more of a down-to-earth classic, but the brewery has catapulted the conventional brew into the 21st century with an extra portion of hops Thanks to the particularly aromatic Hallertau Monroe hop variety, their Helles no longer tastes only of the three malt notes used, but presents us with a wonderful fruity sweetness and hoppy tartness

The pale beer flows into the glass in a golden hue that does justice to its name and carries an airy crown of white foam on its clear, glossy body A bouquet of caramel, roasted grain and tangy fruit gives you an olfactory foretaste of what awaits you in the taste test The first sip reveals a palatable harmony of full-bodied malt and surprisingly present hops: Full-bodied cereal notes make their way into the mouth before the hops enter and deliver fruit aromas, green herbal notes and a fine bitterness The hops skillfully intervene in the lush malt aroma and set flavourful accents that whet the appetite for more hoppy beers

Quick or not, Kraftpaule's pale ale is a delight!
