Munich Helles 4.9 º 25 IBU

La Caníbal

This Madrid-inspired Munich Helles strikes a deliberate balance between soft maltiness and noble hop presence. A foundational base of Continental Pilsner malt provides a grainy-sweet backbone, harmonizing with the refined complexity of Tettnanger, Mittelfrüh, Spalt, and Saphir hops. These varieties contribute delicate layers of dried herbs, spicy florals, and a hint of citrus zest. The extended maturation ensures a pristinely clean fermentation profile, leading to a smooth, rounded palate and a dry, sophisticated finish that bridges the gap between a classic Helles and the crispness of a German Pils. It is a refreshing, elegant expression of European tradition.

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

Aroma. Moderate grainy-sweet malt intensity reminiscent of fresh bread. Low to moderately-low spicy and herbal hop character from the Tettnanger and Mittelfrüh. Exceptionally clean fermentation profile with no esters.

Taste. Moderately malty start with a suggestion of sweetness and rounded grainy-sweet flavors. Supported by a low bitterness (~18 IBU) that maintains a malty balance. Subtle floral and spicy hop flavors from Spalt and Saphir are present. The finish is soft, clean, and dry with a lingering bready aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, well-lagered texture. Moderate carbonation. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
