The team wanted to experiment with a new malt recently so what better way to check it out than to pilot brew a nice Munich style Helles. Pale straw color, super smooth bready malt character from aroma to finish.

Pours a somewhat cloudy bright golden color. Incredibly effervescent. Initially there is a nice 3 finger thick head that settles down to a lovely 1/4 inch layer of velvety foam on top of the beer. Lots of sticky white lacing is left on the glass as the beer is consumed. That thin layer of velvety foam displays excellent head retention lingering until the last sip is consumed.
Aroma has notes of fresh cut grass, pale cracker malts with a touch of sweetness and a hint of fresh white bread.
The taste mostly follows the nose - you get some fresh white bread and pale malts up front with a light toasted crust to it. As the beer warms up a bit, that fresh crusty bread really starts to shine through. Grassy, slightly spicy hops come through on the back end leaving just a subtle pleasant bite on the finish.
Feel is light to medium bodied with a really smooth carbonation.
Overall, I was really impressed with this one. Its got a really nice flavor profile with those bready malts shining. I hope this makes its way into the regular can lineup eventually.
