#4 of the Lager Exploration Series
Originating from Munich, Helles is a pale and drinkable lager that was brewed to be the Bavarian answer to the popular Czech pilsner. German pilsner and Vienna malts lend a light saltine cracker backbone with bready and honey-like highlights. Just a hint of spicy noble German hops counteract sweetness and scrub the palate. This beer highlights the nuances in our favorite German malts with a clean and soft finish.

At the 50West Burger Bar on Bündelchestag 2022, 6-pack from my trusted Liquor Store a few days later.
Crystal clear pale gold color with a finger thick head, good retention.
Bready with a hint of sweetness and a fine hop note.
Love it!
