Munich Helles 4.8 º

La Barberie

This Munich Helles is the epitome of a refreshment-focused lager, pouring a brilliant pale gold. The aroma is defined by a moderate grainy-sweet maltiness, evocative of fresh continental grains. While traditionally subtle, the addition of Saaz hops introduces a delicate herbal nuance that complements the soft, cereal-forward palate. Magnum hops provide a clean, whisper-thin bitterness that ensures a smooth, rounded finish without dominating the malt-centric balance. At a sessionable 4.8% ABV, the profile remains exceptionally soft and clean, delivering a highly approachable German-inspired experience where elegant malt complexity takes center stage and high drinkability is paramount.

Appearance. Pale gold (3-5 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a persistent, creamy white head that leaves light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet malt. Low herbal hop notes from the Saaz addition. Clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl, allowing the malt to dominate.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, grainy-sweet maltiness. Very low bitterness from Magnum hops supports a rounded palate. Subtle herbal hop flavors emerge mid-palate. The finish is soft and dry, following a clean lager profile with a lingering suggestion of fresh cereal.
