Taste: Honey, Grape, Biscuit, soft spicy/piny pitch character
Notes: This export strength Bavarian Helles carries a bit more alcohol than the standard Helles, and it was lagered in pitched line barrels for 3 months, and krausen for natural carbonation. Tastes of honey, grape, biscuit and soft spicy/piny pitch character.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Caramel and pitch aromas. Crisp with sweet pitch and spicy multigrain front to back. Lasting toasted pumpernickel finish.
