A Munich-inspired traditional Helles lager brewed in homage to Bavaria's finest breweries. Malt-forward and crisp, balanced with Tettnang hops for flavor and aroma.

Clear, bright gold appearance with an average size white head and decent lacing. Malty, grainy aroma, free of annoying corn or rice adjuncts. Earthy, herbal, malty, slightly sweet flavor balanced by floral, spicy hops that add mild bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel.

Had on tap. TBH a forgettable beer, has plenty of malt in smell and taste, with some light grass and grains, but otherwise bland. Has some macro corn sweetness on the finish, really hurting the feel of what should be a crisp helles finish. Not worth your time unless options are limited

12 oz can. A solid example of a German helles lager (other than perhaps the color). Pours a surprisingly dark yellow with moderate head. Aroma and flavor feature biscuity/grainy malt, floral/grassy hops, and a crisp mouthfeel. Moderately dry, just a hint of sweetness.
