A rich, malty Munich helles lager and the first U.S. beer to certifiably pass the German Reinheitsgebot Purity Law of 1516. This is a serious German-style lager. It was named 1998 World Champion Munich helles and has won more than its share of gold, silver and bronze medals all over the world. Sam Adams is good but Christian Moerlein is better and a lot more rare. Even better on draft than in the bottle! This is one of the original craft beers and well worth seeking out. Sells for about $5.99 for a 6-pack.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 13, 2004 This staple of the Cincinnati beer drinkers diet is still more than a standout in it’s league. The head was small and fizzles out, but it is a Helles after all. The flavor is always surprisingly sweet with malt and slight hops. The mouthfeel is very nice and fills the corners nicely but washes down without the sticky lingering. If nothing else Christian Moerlein deserves respect for being the first American beer brewed according to the Rheinheitsgebot Law of Purity and imported into Germany back when all most American beers were good for was killing snails.
