Munich-Style Helles

(Description courtesy of Beer Advocate)

“Helles” means “pale in color,” as these beers are often golden. The German-style Helles lager is a bit rounder or fuller-bodied than light lager and even all-malt pilsners. Helles lager beers offer a touch of sweetness that balance a measurable addition of spicy German hop flavor and light bitterness. The malt character is soft and bready, making it a terrific complement to light dishes such as salad or fresh shellfish, like clams. Clean and crisp, this is a refreshing beer with substance.

-Color – Pale to Golden

-Clarity: Appearance should be bright; chill haze should not be present

Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Malt aroma and flavor are pronounced. Low levels of yeast-produced sulfur aromas and flavors may be present. Malt character is sometimes bready and suggestive of lightly toasted malted barley. There should be no caramel character.

- Hop Aroma and Flavor and Bitterness Hop aroma is not perceived to low. Hop flavor is very low to low, derived from noble-type hops.

-Four Noble Hops
oHallertauer Mittelfrüh.
oTettnang.
oSpalt.
oSaaz.


-Body: Medium

-ABV: 4.8%-5.6%

-Glassware: Flute Glass - The world of champagne lends elegance to certain types of beer. Long and narrow bodies ensure that carbonation doesn't dissipate too quickly and showcase a lively carbonation or sparkling color. Stems will often be a bit shorter than the traditional champagne glass, but not necessarily.

Benefits: Enhances and showcases carbonation. Releases volatiles quickly for a more intense upfront aroma.
