A Helles from Starnberg

A photosession with a beer

Sure, my lovely cat „Tiger“ enjoy to pose with a good cold beer from Bavaria.

Today we had a #Helles from Starnberg, a lovely town close to Munich and at a even more lovely lake - the Starnberger Lake

This Box of beer 🍺 showed up some days ago as a present from a good friend and now it is time to write for the #beersaturday

Starnberger Helles

The "Starnberger Helles" is something like the German answer to refreshment in its purest form. Just a great Helles beer.

Taste comes first

This beer is all about balance—expect a crisp, clean profile with a soft, malty backbone that keeps you, as a Beerlover, coming back for more. It’s got that classic golden color that catches the light just right, hinting at the smooth experience waiting inside.

The first sip greets you with a subtle sweetness from the pale malts, rounded out by a gentle, herbal hop bitterness that doesn’t overpower but adds a refreshing finish. Light-bodied with a moderate carbonation, it’s the kind of beer that dances on your palate without demanding too much attention. It's ideal for long afternoons, casual conversations, and those moments when you just want to kick back and enjoy something simple yet exceptionally crafted. Works as well quite good on a sunset for some talks with friends.

The Lake

Lake Starnberg is the crown jewel of the region, stretching out like a sapphire against the backdrop of the Bavarian Alps. It’s the fifth-largest lake in Germany, known for its crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming, sailing, or just relaxing by the shore with a cold Starnberger Helles in hand.
