This rustic Munich Helles presents as an unfiltered Kellerbier, showcasing a hazy, pale gold pour. The sensory profile is defined by grainy-sweet malt foundations, accented by the distinctive herbal and minty notes of Akoya hops alongside the bright, orange marmalade character of NZ Pacifica. On the palate, a soft, pillowy malt profile dominates, offering flavors of fresh bread and cereal. The hops provide a modern twist with delicate citrus and floral spice, balanced by a restrained bitterness. Finishing soft and dry with a lingering clean maltiness, it exemplifies a refreshing, yeast-forward take on a classic German lager.
