Our interpretation of a Munich Helles is softly malty, smooth and rounded with a tiny flourish of herbaceous hop bitters on the back end. Sessionable, clean and very very moreish.

Can from LCB, 6 months still in date. Clear gold with white head which fades. Aroma has a clean grain with some lemon and herbs. Taste has a sweet bready malt with cereals, some citrus and herbal bitterness. Medium bodied, light soft chewiness. A good example of the style.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Light to mid-gold and hazy with a small film of white head. Lemon zest, hay, light notes of cracked corn in the aroma. Sweet taste, some spicy notes with bitterness creeping in right at the finish. Light body, big carbonation. Nailed the style for better or worse (I like a Helles but won't be for everyone).

Draft @ El Birrot.
Dorée/pâle, col crémeux blanc.
Arôme est frais sur une belle base de lager/grains et pils. Petite douceur perçant en rétro-nasal - fruits verts- avec un léger houblonné noble.
Palais reste sur une belle base allemande - léger esters et grains. Petit enote fruitée, un peu sur la groseille. Amertume fine de baies, effet un peu pomme cuite avec ce fini toffee/caramel très léger. Floral sur la fin avec l'apport du houblonné noble.

Draught@TCBW2022. Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet grains, mild honey, some toasted tones with mild herbal and grassy tones. Flavour is sweet malts, mild floral, herbal and grassy tones. Kind of Helles, but a bit sweet malty and not dry and simple enough for me. No flaws as such though.
