This Munich Helles offers a refreshing, session-strength interpretation of the classic Bavarian lager. The unfiltered character preserves a soft, bready malt foundation that remains light on the palate. While traditional examples focus on herbal hops, this version introduces a distinctive hint of citrusy white wine character, which brightens the clean fermentation profile. Crisp and exceptionally clean, it balances a gentle grainy-sweetness with restrained bitterness. The finish is notably dry and refreshing, emphasizing its sessionable nature at 4.4% ABV while maintaining the smooth, elegant malt-forward core of the style.
