Munich Helles 4.8 º 26 IBU

BrauStil

BrauStil Helles presents a quintessential expression of the Munich Helles style, balancing a gentle sweetness with refined hop character. A base of Pilsner and CaraPils malts creates a smooth, grainy-sweet foundation, offering subtle notes of fresh bread and light honey. This malty core is masterfully counterpointed by the classic German noble profiles of Perle and Tettnanger hops, contributing delicate herbal and spicy nuances. Fermented with the Augusta yeast strain, it maintains a pristine, clean profile that allows the interplay of ingredients to shine. The 26 IBU provides a slightly firmer structure than typical examples, leading to a soft, balanced finish.

Appearance. Pale gold (4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, persistent creamy white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate grainy-sweet malt aroma, reflecting fresh dough and light cereal. Low spicy and herbal hop notes are present from the Perle and Tettnanger. The fermentation profile is exceptionally clean, focusing the balance entirely on the interplay of malt and hops.

Taste. An initial impression of soft, bready Pilsner malt and a touch of dextrinous sweetness from the CaraPils. Supported by a moderate grainy-sweet malt flavor. Hop flavors of dried herbs and mild spice emerge in the mid-palate. The 26 IBU provides a structured but restrained bitterness that is slightly firmer than standard for the style. The finish is soft and dry with a lingering clean malt character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-lagered texture. Medium carbonation provides a pleasant mouth-filling sensation without being prickly. No alcohol warmth or astringency is present.
