Gold color. Aromas of partially baked baguette, waves of pilsner and vienna malt, and basswood honey with an medium body and an interesting, medium-long multigrain bread, baked yellow apple, grass clipping, and marzipan finish. Clean and classic and with a rich warm nose but a refreshing body.

Munich helles lagers are pale to golden in color and range in alcohol from 4.5-5.5%. These beers traditionally malt-accented with subtle hop character. They are generally weightier than standard pale lagers though less substantial than dortmunder export styles. The finest examples still come from the brewing center of Munich and are relatively easy to find in major US markets. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Full Sail LTD 03, Hofbräu Original Lager and Paulaner Original Munich Premium Lager.
