Munich Helles 5 º 36 IBU

Clube do Malte

This Munich Helles reimagines the classic Bavarian style by elevating the hop profile without sacrificing its malt soul. It pours a brilliant pale gold, releasing a clean aroma of grainy-sweet malt reminiscent of fresh biscuits and cereals. While traditionally malt-forward, this version introduces a vibrant layer of floral and spicy hop notes alongside unexpected fruity nuances. The palate is defined by a soft, rounded mouthfeel where the cracker-like malt meets a significantly firmer amargor than typical for the style. At 36.1 IBU, the bitterness is pronounced but balanced, leading to a crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly hop-forward finish that remains approachable and highly drinkable.
