Tastes like a lager with the smokey smell of the rauchbier famous from this region. Good one to tick-off the list – not a session beer.
A good one to try before the Rauchbier – an entry level smoked beer even!
Andy Nichols –
German Helles is probably my favourite style of lager, with various different tastes of the style depending on the brewer. So I was interested in trying this for two reasons, with the apparent smokey taste of its sister Rauchbeir ( which is beautiful but totally different ), and the lower ABV of 4.3%. It didn’t disappoint as yes, there was a light smokey taste along the refreshing, crisp aromas of Helles. And also the fact it’s only 4.3%, I disagree with the previous review of it not being a session beer. I would quite happily chug on these all day long knowing it wouldn’t knock my socks off after 6+! Other Helles have more about them ( Augustiner being the king for me ), but definitely give these a go!
Rob –
Outstanding. A lovely crisp, refreshing Helles with a very subtle smoked twist. I wasn’t sure how this would work but after tasting it, its one I keep coming back to. Excellent.
Catriona MacKechnie –
This is such a unique beer, sweet and malty like a standard helles lager but smoked like the other Schlenkerla beers. If you want to try something unusual this is for you.
Richard Young –
Not quite the sum of its parts .
A Rauchbier from Schlenkerla meets a quality Helles should be a match made in heaven, but it doesn’t quite nail it. That said, I’ll certainly be back for more and can imagine getting a whole box for the summer. Great session beer too
Milan Macurak –
Basically Dortmunder beer with extra steps or in this case taste. Definitely very unique taste and another fantastic example of Deutsches bier kultur.
Adam Randall –
Distinctive smoky character, very unusual for a lager beer. Nice firm bitterness and good malty body. A classic in its own right and a suitable partner for its more famous (and smoky!) big brother.
Paul Boniface –
A smoky, light helles that provides a unique taste. Definitely worth trying.
Michael Channon –
A very easy drinking beer, with the enhancement of gentle smokiness which gives it more gravitas. It Is well worth trying this beer if you haven’t so far.
Dean Griffiths –
Pours light in colour with white fluffy head and very low carbonation.
The beer has quite a Smokey taste and leaves something of a bitter after taste. It’s not bad but not really to my liking.
Paul Santilli –
If you like the traditional Bavarian Helles beers, then try this for a different taste experience. Definitely similar in one respect with a nice balance of maltiness and hoppiness, but overlaid with a subtle hint of smokiness. If you have drunk the Schlenkerla Rauchbier then you will understand where this comes from. Very enjoyable beer.
James Murray –
Always enjoyed a Bavarian lager bier but this one is a little different has a heavy over tone of smokiness which , in my view, complete overhauls the lightness and smoothness a helles should deliver . Not a bad beer but slightly underwhelming if I’m honest by this one.
Stephen Parker –
Love the spicy, smokiness of this helles. Very different to most dortmunders. Give it a try for variation
Popping Pils –
The smokiness of this helles makes it unlike others I have tried, still light enough to be an enjoyable drink. Nice flavour if you’re after something different.
Barrie Taylor –
Gr8 taste, and perfect match with a good curry
