Tegernsee Hell – Bavaria’s Classic Golden Lager

Aroma

Tegernsee Hell opens with a clean, inviting aroma of soft malt, fresh bread, and a touch of honey sweetness. Subtle grassy and floral hop notes lift the bouquet, giving it a crisp, refreshing character that sets the stage for a truly classic Bavarian lager.

Appearance

Pouring a bright golden straw colour with excellent clarity, Tegernsee Hell is crowned by a fluffy white head that lingers gracefully. Fine carbonation dances through the glass, making it as attractive to the eye as it is to the palate.

Taste

On the palate, Tegernsee Hell delivers smooth, bready malt flavour with just a hint of honeyed sweetness. A delicate hop bitterness adds balance without ever overpowering, leading to a clean, crisp, and refreshing finish. At 4.8% ABV, this Helles is light, highly drinkable, and endlessly satisfying – the kind of beer that has made Bavarian lagers famous around the world.
