Gebraut mit den fünf Hopfensorten Northern Brewer, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, Fuggle, Vanguard und Cenntenial, bekommt unser helles Kreis Bräu ein ganz besonderes Hopfenprofil: Kräutrig, harzig, erdig und minimal citral. Kein klassisches Helles, aber nicht so bitter wie ein Pils. Es schmeckt einfach rund!

Bottle picked up from Bierothek Fürth. Consumed on the train back to Plattling from Nürnberg Hbf, Wednesday 18th June 2025 listening to The Notwist - Vertigo Days. Initially some cereal but opens up and a bitterness starts to come through, btw its a train beer straight from the bottle so I cannot be exact on the appearance though FWIW I'm expecting clear gold and white head. Nice hoppiness, not too strident but certainly leans just a tiny bit more towards pilsner, light fruity, slow meandering dry finish, but some maltiness en route. Good.

50cl bottle. A clear yellow golden beer with a white head. Aroma of mild grassy and spicy hops, pale malt. Taste of spicy and grassy bitter hops, pale malt, some grains. Long bitter finish.

Fläschla: Pale golden to golden, medium-sized and slowly collapsing white head, bitter-sweet grainy nose, delicate metallic traces underneath, dry herbal hops as well; mild to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; short bitter-grainy finish. Quite tame, quite inoffensive…

Kreis Bräu : hopfig hell, 4,7 %, Flasche (MHD: 07.09.21) von LBP24. - Dunkelgold, klar. - In der Nase stumpf zitrusfruchtige und matt herbale Hopfung, Hefe, brotiges Malz. - Antrunk sauber hellmalzig, leicht brotig, etwas hefig-ranzig und zwar halbwegs ordentlich zitrusfruchtig-hopfenherb aber ohne die verheißenen verschiedenen Aromahopfensorten. Deutliche Malzsüße. Mild rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang leicht ranzige Bittere, etwas stumpf. - Für ein fränkisches Bier, noch dazu eins mit dem Beinamen hopfig, arg lieblos gehopft. Kann kaum mit einem durchschnittlichen Kellerbier mithalten. Nicht frisch genug? (8.6.2021.)

Kernig getreidiger, deutlich herber Beginn. Milde aber vorhandene Bitterkeit, eher Pils als Helles. Das nussig-karamellige Aroma gefällt, intensiv, vollmundig hopfig. Langer würziger Abgang. Gut! 9/12/11/11/8/12

26-02-19 // taster from a bottle at Brauhaus Neulich. Sharing with the team and brewer. Clear golden. Quite different approach to a Helles. Interesting. Bit still. A bit to unbalanced. Hop aromas are lightly present.
