CHIEMSEER HELL 0,5L

Bavarian pale beer of the Helles / Lager type, produced under the Chiemseer brand by Rosenheimer Spezialitätenbrauerei GmbH from Rosenheim am Inn - the specialty brewery of the AuerBräu Rosenheim group. Although the name refers to Lake Chiemsee, the brewery is no longer located on the lakeshore: the brand was moved to Rosenheim, at Münchener Straße 80, where the AuerBräu headquarters are also located. The label explicitly indicates the production location as Rosenheim. The brand is associated with the Chiemgau region and the Chiemgau Alps, which form the natural border with Tyrol.

Bright light yellow color, clear, glanzfein (filtered, no yeast), with fine-pored white foam. The aroma is fresh, with clear malt, cereals, light notes of honey, grass, flowers, a trace of lemon, and a slight, typical sulfurous touch. The taste is mild, with bread/freshness, the malt body round and full, more consistent than the 11.5° wort would suggest. A pronounced, but not aggressive malt sweetness dominates - cereals, light malt, dough, caramel/honey. Fresh, fine-beaded carbonation. The finish has herbal-lemony hops with floral and spicy notes, with a mild hop bitterness that ends round and pleasant. Slightly watery texture. An easy-drinking, balanced Helles.
