Schanzenbräu Helles

Light or dark, that is the question

While dark beers have their very own charm, we can't help but see the magic of pale beers Porter, stout, smoked beer and black beer score points with their full-bodied maltiness and often edgy character They generally have a soft, sometimes powerful sweetness, combined with a strong roasted bitterness They are the right choice to accompany hearty or chocolaty dishes and crown special moments with their sensual aroma Helles, on the other hand, are a more uncomplicated style that is characterized by its balance Most examples bring a skillful balance of hops and malt into the glass and are wonderfully drinkable

The Nuremberg brewery produces an unfiltered pale ale that impresses with its slender freshness, full-bodied malt and a little extra hops When you sniff the delicately cloudy, golden yellow brew, a potpourri of summer flowers, pale grain and tart hops rises to the nose The first sip goes in the same direction: Sun-ripened grain meets oven-fresh cookies, grassy hops and an elegant bitterness The Nürnberger Helle is extremely drinkable and almost invites you to drink more than one It goes perfectly with all kinds of food and also stands up pretty well on its own
