Munich Helles
Beschreibung
A clean, malt-accented German lager with a restrained hop character. A malty, not hoppy beer that doesn't taste like liquid bread. Well-balanced and refreshing.
Aroma
Moderate grainy-sweet Pilsner malt aroma dominates. Restrained German hop aroma with floral, herbal notes. Very clean lager fermentation. Malt-accented and inviting without being heavy.
Aussehen
Pale to medium gold, 3-5 SRM. Clear to brilliant. White head with moderate to good retention.
Geschmack
Dominant soft, grainy-sweet Pilsner malt flavor. Low to moderate herbal or floral hop bitterness. Clean, dry finish. Malt-forward but not cloying. Very drinkable.
Mundgefühl
Medium body with moderate carbonation. Soft and smooth. No astringency. Very drinkable.
Geschichte
Created in 1894 by Spaten Brewery in Munich as a response to the Pilsner revolution sweeping Bavaria. Spaten brewer Gabriel Sedlmayr II developed a pale malt lager to compete with Pilsner while maintaining Munich's malty identity. Now epitomizes the Munich pale lager tradition.
