Munich was made from a blend of two brews produced in March 2022 and March 2024. The grists for both containing a majority of traditionally floor malted Munich malts to produce a rich copper coloured wort, with a little maize added to produce a balancing dryness in the finished drink.
Ten year old Citra hops were added during a long boil to add a little bite along with their preservative qualities. The finished blend was primed with organic maple syrup just before bottling. This provides both the sugar for refermentation and acts to capture the delicate aromatics of the syrup.
The finished drink is both rich and well poised. The sweetness of the Maple syrup and full bodied Munich malts balanced by the snap of aged Citra hops and toasty aromatics of the Munich malts.

Bottle. Mills online. Hazed pale-ish copper colour. Thick noisy head settles to a nicely dense even pale ginger foam. There is a whiff of the maple syrup addition first up. Oak. Soft bretty funk. Wet leather. Background bready grain. Touch of orange peel and soft (festive, for some reason) spice. Taste is lightly tart with a well balanced sweetness. Super juicy throughout with brisk foamy carbonation. Light twang of citrus bitterness. Juicy bittersweet finish. Gloriously easy drinking.
