From the brewery: “Schlenkerla Helles” is brewed with fine Bavarian aroma hops from the area around the city of Nürnberg. It’s lagered in century old caves underneath the historic Schlenkerla brewery and maltings. Schlenkerla Helles is boiled in the same copper kettles and bottom fermented by the same yeast as the historic Schlenkerla Smokebeer. Its subtle smokiness without using smoke malt makes “Helles Schlenkerla Lager” a unique representative of the classic lager beer style “Bavarian Helles”.

Subtly smoked lager. My favourite kind of lager 🙂
Gary –
bit weird at first, but after getting used to it, it was fine. However, not as quaffable in large quantities in the same way as normall helles.
Duncan –
Nice light smoked flavour, depth of flavour from the yeast, smooth and refreshing. Makes me want to try the full Schlenkerla Smokebeer
Richard Spillane –
interestingly smoky,
Wayne –
Can’t decide if I like this or not. Not unpleasant but the smoky taste is different
