Commercial Description:
When the Original Münchner was brewed for the first time at the end of the 19th Century, it was a spectacular success. With its hoppy taste, subtle, light and elegant, it becomes ever popular. Today the Paulaner Original Münchner is the best sold Münchner Hellbier (lager beer) in the world and Paulaner's No. 1 export beer in over 30 countries with its wonderfully subtle, spicy, naturally hearty taste.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a mix a six at Lukas in Overland Park, Kansas. Produced on 02/09 stamped on the label. Pour is clear golden with nice swirling building up a 1 1/2 inch pure white head. Sparse fine carbonation bubbles wind their way to the surface. Head falls slowly with some lacing. Aroma of toasted biscuit malt and a slight green pepper vegetal element. Taste is the biscuit malt, toasty with an earthy background. Mineral in the aftertaste. Also some light citrus bitterness. Palate is medium, a little chewy with a nice creamy mouth feel. The finish is fairly long, mineral and earthy. Low carbonation. Nice drinkable beer.

Straw color, quickly disappearing fine-non homogenous head. Standard pilsner style arome (ok, I’m no expert here.) Watery, slightly alcoholic.Fizzy tingling. An ok pilsner. Nothing special. Present from Peter from Munich.

A Sim rate: draught at some music venue somewhere.
Smells like sweaty palms or maybe it smells of nothing and I can just smell my hand over the would-be beer aroma. Slight bit of malty sweetness but not much else. Hmm... looks like a lager. Job done. Irremarkable. Not offensive. Boring lager.

Bottle. Pours golden yellow with a big white head. Crisp straw hop nose. Sweet, malty straw and hay flavours with a thirst quenching bitterness and a light, summery finish. A refreshing treat on a warm summer evenin - it was gone before I knew it!

Colore giallo chiaro,molto limpido nel bicchiere,la schiuma è abbondante ma assolutamente poco persistente,l’aroma abbastanza maltato viene a ripetersi anche quando la si assaggia con una leggera acidità citrina,corpo discreto.Tutto sommato direi ragionevolmente discreta,abbastanza per togliermi la sete con questo maledetto caldo umido!

Overall Impression: This is a decent enough lager, something that has subdued flavors, but still works alright. Its a nice beer for what it is...
