Helles Spank — Munich Helles

Helles Spank — Munich Helles | Hop Skin, Curno (BG)

Slake your thirst properly!

Helles Spank is Hop Skin’s Munich Helles: a pale beer with a traditional Bavarian character, focused on well-executed simplicity rather than intensity. Bright, inviting straw yellow, a clean malt profile, German hops in the background — the Bergamo brewery’s everyday Lager that, as their slogan goes, slakes your thirst properly.

Tasting profile

Clear, bright straw yellow, with a fine, compact white head. The nose offers clean, immediate aromas of light bread crust, grain, delicate honey, balanced by fresh herbal and floral notes from the German hops. On the palate, the body is light to medium and the sip is smooth, centered on the malt character without excessive sweetness. Lively carbonation and a linear, fresh development keep the profile crisp and orderly. The bitterness is subtle but clean, IBU 16 — making it extremely thirst-quenching and approachable. Soft, clean finish, ready for the next sip.

• Style: Munich Helles
• ABV: 4.2% ABV
• Dominant sensations: Bread crust — Grain — Honey

Recommended pairings

The exceptional drinkability and lightness of Helles Spank make it an ideal partner for cured meats and sharing boards, pizza, savoury baked goods, and grilled white meats, as well as fresh cheeses. An everyday Lager that suits any table without ever overpowering the food.
