Paulaner Original Münchner Hell (Premium Lager)

Brewed by Paulaner Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Munich, Germany

in can 350 ml. (brewed and canned in Chile) Pale yellow color. Small and very gaseous head. A good aroma, candy, with something of herbs. In paladar, in the beginning, it is very sweet (the caramel is very well-known). It finishes pleasantly, with nice hoppy. The body is very light, much. It is a good standard beer, no more.

bottle. Lovely pale gold color with a full size white head and decent lacing. Fairly average hop aroma like your typical lager. Starts with a sweet tang then reveals the ginger spice that it promises. Light hop finish. The color and spice make this lager a refreshing and pleasant beer.

I really like their weiss beer, so I decided to give this a try. Poured golden yellow. Not bad, but no real characteristic that stood out. Very drinkable, however.

Straw to gold coloured with a rapidly receding head. Faint grainy aroma, but still in a good way, really. The taste has also some grainyness but different from other beers I’d describe in that way. Better finished really. Thus the malts are rather dry and the hoppiness light but not at all nonexistent. Still, it’s probably among the more pleasant beers of the light lager persuasion (light lager not meaning light light if you know what I mean) I’ve had. Fresh tasting and pretty faultless, which can’t be that easy to achieve in a beer like this. Class act really and objectively it should maybe have scored higher. In the end though, I’m not very likely to seek this out. Perhaps I’ll think of some food pairing that requires a light lager and then this will definitely be on my short list.

Draught: Poured a golden yellow with a white color head. The aroma was harvest and corny. The flavor matched perfectly, very taste, and fresh.

Bottle. Sort of grainy aroma backed by some hop. Rather non-descript, but at least it does not smell like corn. Brassy color with a white head that tries to lace. Starts a bit thin, grainy, grassy. The saving point is that there is some hop. The finish is relatively dry, and the hop lightly dominates. Not all that bitter, except compared to the evil Bud! I’d drink it, if no ale whatsoever were available. It is kind of growing on me.

Poured medium golden with a nice frothy long-lasting head. The nose had a just barely discernible skunkiness but after the first drink I didn’t notice it anymore. This is a pretty bitter and medium bodied lager, a fairly typical Bavarian beer. Works for me.

Bouteille. Arome de grain faible. Couleur or clair. Mince mousse qui se dissipe lentement. Goût bien malté, finale légèrement houblonné. Effervescence moyen, corps moyen. Bonne lager.
