Hoche La Tête is a refined Munich Helles that showcases the elegant balance between Continental Pilsner malt and traditional German hops. This collaboration with Mutoïde pours a brilliant pale gold with a persistent, creamy white head. The aroma is dominated by moderate grainy-sweet malt, accented by low floral and herbal hop notes. On the palate, it delivers a soft, rounded impression with a gentle sweetness that transitions into a clean, dry finish. The bitterness is restrained, ensuring the malt character remains the focal point while maintaining high drinkability. This lager epitomizes the smooth, well-lagered character expected of the style.
