Prost! –
A really fine and famous Bavarian beer, that goes well with pretty much anything, brought to you swiftly, comparatively cheaply, and with ease by Beers Of Europe. Highly recommend both.
Stujago –
Not quite as good as the Hofbrau Oktoberfestbier but still a stunning helles lager. Very clean, crisp, smooth and sessionable. It has a lovely yeasty flavour with a bitter edge. Just the right amount of fizz.
Steven Nicholas –
This is my favourite Hofbrau offering which I much prefer to their festbier which I find too boozy. This is the perfect balance of maltiness, hop bitterness and alcohol amd very smooth.
In fact, whilst it’s categorised as helles, to me it’s like cross between a helles and a pils. Maybe the perfect lager.
Bradley Flannigan –
Great beer. My favourite beer from oktoberfest and tastes great from a bottle too. So good it always seems out of stock. Hopefully back in stock soon and I’ll be ordering more
Jimmy Collins –
My favorite German beer. You can’t go wrong with this one. Just wish it was in stock more often than it is!
Derek B –
For my taste it is the best beer I have tasted from Munich, it has a greater depth of flavour than it’s rivals. You can fill my stein with this anytime.
Rob –
A good, solid German beer. I prefer other examples but I would definitely recommend this to try. Crisp, smooth, good session drink.
Andy Nichols –
A nice rounded solid lager. Doesn’t have a specific point outstanding, but if you’re just looking for a proper nice German beer that has everything in the right places, this is perfect.
BILLY SHORTHOUSE –
A solid German beer that will please anyone lucky enough to try it.
Taste is 8/10 and goes down a treat; could easily be a session beer as it’s so drinkable.
This will always have a spot in my basket anytime I place an order; highly recommend.
DW –
Wonderful. Buy some.
Matt –
Cracking example of a Munich lager, just goes down smooth and has a really satisfying flavour. It’s not too rich and definitely part of a few evening beers
ian –
one my favourite german lagers this traditional brew is very refreshing easy on the palette and very moreish and excellent value for money..
Caroline Carr –
Love this beer. Originally bought a mixed case and this beer was by far the best. So much so i bought what i thought was enough for Christmas but my husband has already drunk the first box. Sadly now out of stock i shall wait eagerly for when they are back in stock.
Hywel Davies –
The best of the German beers in my opinion. Crisp taste, not too strong.
Dean Griffiths –
A Municher classic! Light ,crisp refreshing and a fair bit cheaper here than on other websites.
Kul –
A lovely straw colour, clear and crisp, a great foamy head and a floral aroma. Great on the tongue, sweet but leaves a bitter taste at the end. I prefer their dunkel which is fantastic but another good beer. I may go for the Ayinger Hells?
Paul C –
A really enjoyable, sharp Helles.
Extremely smooth, flavoursome and sessionable.
Nice flavour and slightly bitter aftertaste.
Definitely one to revisit.
Mick Moore –
Excellent lager bier. Really refreshing.
Alan Muhammed –
Fantastic tasting Münchner Hell, it’s a classic, one of my favourite Bavarian beers. I’ve been to the Hofbräuhaus in Munich and I’m so pleased we can get it in the UK too – it’s far more superior than what is sold in British supermarkets and for a similar price for a large bottle.
Amit Lwow –
This beer never ceases to Impress me. Malty, smooth, clean, and not complicated or demanding. Creamy and a bit sweet on the palate with a comforting taste. The ultimate Bavarian beer, and one I can drink all night, or first thing in the “morning after”
Sean Mc –
A good, solid, everyday helles. Always order as it brings back so many memories of my time in Bavaria. Smooth and very, very drinkable. Another beer that is quintessentially Munich in taste and style.
Stuart –
By far the best Pilsner I’ve had. Memories of times in Munich!
Christine Saunders –
nice smooth easy drinking beer
Allan –
A lovely bottle, one of the iconic big six. Not quite as good as the draught equivalent but does nicely for a sessionable lager.
Steve Lee –
One of the great Helles, refreshing and flavoursome.
Paul Boniface –
An absolute superb lager. Great taste to the last drop and very easy to drink. One of the very very best.
deOldphart –
Absolutely lived up to my expectations. Almost as good as draft at the Hofbrau Haus. Now if I could only get the German meals to go with it….
Robert Salter –
Superb quality. Excellent tasting beer perfect for all occasions. For the price, one of the best German beers available.
Alex Ginge –
Hofbrau Original. What’s to say? It doesn’t get much better than this. Traditional German beer craft at its best. There’s a reason the Germans have laws about the number of ingredients allowed in beer, it’s because good beer is this simple. Fantastically refreshing and a joy to drink.
John Lloyd –
Full flavour quality larger
Jens –
Perfect balanced go-to lager, sets the standard for Bavarian style Helles, slightly sweet, can’t be faulted, though more of a summer beer for me.
George Willis –
This is a wonderfully well balanced Munich Helles lager, with a wonderful malt foundation and a combination of four German Noble hop varieties. Superb refreshment and pairs very well with a wide range of dishes.
Stephen Parker –
Simply gorgeous ice cold with a big pile of sausage and mash
WARWICK FALCONER –
Excellent Helles, nicely sweet but not overly so and very refreshing.
John Evans –
One of my favorites, especially ice cold whilst cooking a barbie. It’s the taste of Germany obtainable through Beers of Europe !
Russell Castley-Adams –
Excellent Helles. Not my favourite style, but this was refreshingly clean, light and smooth with a subtle malt backbone.
Christopher Duffill –
This is a Munich Beer true to its taste and flavours
I really like this .
Superb service from beers of Europe too
Thank you
Luke Manley –
A very nice hells. Would buy again.
