Description
First created in Munich in 1894, the Bavarian Helles is perhaps the most delicate beer imaginable, and must rely on its incredible subtlety to please the palate.
Munich’s beer hall helles, the palest of lagers, has almost no nose or up-front bitterness. Straw blonde and topped by a tall, white crown, it is the quaffing beer of the Bavarians.
The Classic Beer Style Series from Brewers Publications examines individual world-class beer styles, covering origins, history, sensory profiles, brewing techniques and commercial examples.
