Style: Helles Lager
Origin: Augustiner-Bräu, Munich, Germany | ABV: 5.2%

-
Appearance: Pours a brilliant, luminous pale gold with a dense, creamy-white head. It has a beautiful clarity and sparkle.
-
Aroma: Subtle yet complex. The nose is dominated by a clean, sweet aroma of fresh-baked bread and light biscuit malt, underscored by delicate floral and grassy noble hops. A hint of honey or citrus is often present.
Augustiner Helles achieves its renowned smoothness and depth through traditional methods, including strict adherence to the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) and an extra-long, cold secondary fermentation (lagering) process. This extra time results in a perfectly rounded beer—mild, sparkling, and uniquely refreshing.
