The location in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria, opens up a range of regional options for the Flötzinger brewery when it comes to sourcing its raw materials. Grain thrives particularly well in the sun-drenched fields around Rosenheim and the hop-growing regions of Hallertau and Spalt are not much more than two hours’ drive away. For its popular Flötzinger Hell, the brewery tapped into regional resources and ordered the finest aromatic hops from the hop-growing region of Tettnang on Lake Constance. Combined with green gold from the Hallertau and Bavarian malt, this results in a full-bodied brew that shines with a generous malt note and mild hints of hops. The skilled hands of the brewers and a long fermentation make the light beer a real delight.
The beery pleasure flows out of the bottle in crystal-clear gold and rests in the glass with sparkling carbon dioxide bubbles and a white head of foam. Not for long, however, because the olfactory bouquet of oven-fresh bread with honey, tangy lemon, grass and white pepper tempts you to drink straight away. The first sip reveals a light-footed body with a mild character: floral hops meet citrus fruit, fragrant hay, yeast dough, forest honey and soft, light grain.
The Helle from the Flötzinger private brewery is a straightforward beer with clear aromas, moderate bitterness and a good balance between sweet malt and bitter hops.
