The first taste of the Munich Helles came this evening accompanying a pea shoot salad and a ham and leek quiche.
My first lager (technically the second, but the first to be tasted) and it’s crystal clear with a delicious smoky hint. No smoked malt was harmed in the making of this beer. There is a lot of malt flavor, a tiny bit of spicy Hallertau (not enough) and the attenuation isn’t quite as high as it might have been. The beer is a touch sweet. The head disappears too quickly but that might be the glass.
And yes I know it’s not a Pilsener and doesn’t deserve the glass.
This should be a solid light summer lager.
