Hacker-Pschorr Edelhell

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Munich, Germany

Very light golden color. Hoppy character dominates, though not an incredible amount of hops. Similar to a decent pils, though lacking in the subtle sweetness. A little one note, but not disappointing. Maybe a little lemon.

Grabbed this one off the shelf, thinking it was a German Pilsener. What a surprise when I tried it. Pours cloudy, at first from bottle, then clears beautifully. Nice, fresh malt aroma that persists as you drink. Way complex for a German beer. I detect pepper, spice and vanilla with the malt and hops. Head dissipates, but lacing drifts down the glass. Flavor persists as the beer warms, leading to a mellow finish.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding white head, lively carbonation. Aroma is bready with clean maltiness. Taste is a delicate balance between the lager yeast and lightly toasted malts. Not as good as the Dortmunder Gold, but an excellent session beer regardless.

Light golden color, fair head. Corn aroma and flavors are an unexpected disappointment. At least it goes down fairly smooth, with not too much of an aftertaste. A notch above most similar tasting imports and macros.

Had this while living in Wisconsin, bought cases of various Hacker-Pschorr styles, but this one was different enough to remember. I could drink it like water, and I wasn’t getting stone drunk. I felt like a trooper for the long haul, good thing i ran out of it. Couldn’t imagine it was 5.5% after reading it here. It could of just been something that night, but it was out of the ordinary within a very ordinary drinking session.

One of my favorite Edelhelles. I drank it thoroughly in munich. Good subtle character, though stronger than typical helles.

Average gold body topped with a thick but diminishing white bubbly head. It exhales a strong but rather unidimensional hoppy/herbal aroma. The taste presents the same caracteristics, plys some bready notes. It ends with a sharp bitter/hoppy finish. Good export Helles. I’ll go get more at the Beer Store in order to fill my Mass.

Clear light gold colour with fast fading rocky white head. Mild malt nose. mild malt taste with dry yeast finish.
