Our Munich Lager is a nod to the thirst quenching lagers of Germany. Our Helles has a sweet malt expression that is balanced by floral bitterness from the use of German Hallertaur Mittelfruh hops. A very refreshing beer that will also entice you by its subtle complexity and drinkability.

Not my style but just wanted to try it. For something who likes this style it would like rate higher than mine.

Pours - semi transparent golden color, white head that quickly dissipates no lacing.

Smell - Sweet malts, little bit of orange peel, bready smell.

Taste - Pretty sweet malts flavor, mild biscuit and yeast flavors. Slightly floral flavors with a little orange.

Feel - light well carbonated very refreshing.

Overall - Well I am not a big lager drinker but this was pretty good for what it is.

From a can into a pint glass at Cork and Stogie, Key West. Pours with a pretty golden clarity. Not much head, just a bit of quickly-fading froth. Plenty of hops, maybe too much for a Helles. Or maybe just needs more malt. Could pass as a Pils as easily as a Helles but very pleasant to drink on a VERY hot Key West day. Won't seek it out but wasn't at all disappointed.
