Franconian Helles – a classic with a fine character.

In Franconia, the Helles beer has a long tradition and is far more than just a quick thirst quencher after a stressful day. It represents conviviality, craftsmanship, and the region’s honest, down-to-earth, and centuries-old brewing tradition. Typical of this beer style is its light golden color, mild hops, and balanced flavor, which deliciously balances hoppy bitterness with soft, malty sweetness. A good Helles beer is refreshing, drinkable, and full-bodied. It’s a beer for every occasion—whether with a hearty snack, hearty bratwurst, or enjoyed neat in a convivial setting.

Landwehr-Bräu Extra Hell is a fine example of this tradition, bringing it to life in excellent form. The bottom-fermented beer has a pleasant 4.8% alcohol content and flows into the glass in a clear, sunny gold color with a lush, pure white head. The brewmasters rely on exquisite barley malt from the region’s producers’ association and mild Spalt hops—a dream team that gives the Extra Hell its harmonious character.

The Extra Hell tastes pleasantly drinkable, subtly malty, and only lightly hopped, maintaining a delicate mildness. A well-rounded beer that quenches thirst and represents an entire culture—perfect for anyone who appreciates a classic, honest Helles and wants to preserve Franconian tradition.
