Munich Helles 5 º 20 IBU

Icarus Brewing

Life In Helles is a masterclass in balance, offering a refined sensory experience that celebrates the understated elegance of the Munich Helles style. The profile is driven by a clean, grainy-sweet malt backbone that provides a soft, rounded palate. This bready foundation is artfully complemented by the addition of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops, which impart delicate floral and noble herbal notes. The aroma leads with a gentle sweetness reminiscent of fresh pilsner malt, while the finish is remarkably smooth and dry. This traditional lager remains exceptionally easy-drinking, pairing its medium body with a restrained bitterness that allows the high-quality German ingredients to shine with every refreshing sip.

Appearance. Pale gold (4 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a persistent, creamy white head and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity. Dominant grainy-sweet malt aroma suggestive of fresh bread dough. Low floral and spicy hop character from the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. Very clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, grainy-sweet maltiness. Moderate flavor of bready malt with a rounded palate. Low hop bitterness provides just enough structure to prevent cloying. Substantial floral and herbal hop flavor. Finishes soft and dry with a lingering, clean malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-lagered texture. Moderate carbonation. No perceived alcohol warmth. Very high drinkability without any astringency.
