Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: Water, Barley Malt, Hops & Hop extract.
Sold as Münchner Hell in Germany, München in the UK and Premium in North America.
This beer is our speciality. In 1894 Spaten became the first brewery in Munich to produce this brand of light lager. Golden in color with a well-balanced hop-flavor. The full rounded body is a superb balance between hops and a malty sweetness.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear golden yellow with lasting ring. Honey lemon aroma. Mild honey sweetness with dry medium bitter finish. Medium-light body, medium carbo. Something in the flavor throws me. Pretty good, just, I dunno, I don’t like it as much as some of the other sweeter lagers, I guess.

Inviting gold appearance. low carbonation with a very pleasant maltiness that doesn’t take over but is still present. Full bodied and quite powerful.

Shows what a pale lager can be when brewed with all-malt. Low hopping brings forward the malt in this clean, refreshing example of a straightforward German lager. Give me this any day vs the typical American lager.

Pours a very nice clear gold with thick, creamy white head that leaves some very attractive lacing on the glass. The aroma is mostly sweet, malty hay and floral/herbal hops. The flavor is pretty similar with the herbal hops coming through in a subtle, but very nice way. There is a hint of metal in there that detracts a bit. The mouthfeel is is pretty light, with a clean dry finish. Pretty good lager overall.

Pours a crystal clear pale yellow with a large white head. The aroma is rather malty sweet without much hop character. The flavor is nice and clean with plenty of malt. The finish is a bit thin, but with a solid dry finish.

Although I am an ale man, lagers serve their purpose in my life. Like when I want to drink a beer, but my body tells me I should be drinking water. Although it’s not fantastic, Spaten holds a place in my heart and I usually go for their lager. Not all beers are meant to be a full-on attack on your taste buds, but for the style should still be worthy. Pours into my Spaten lager glass light with a healthy head that doesn’t hang around too long. Well carbonated, light color. Smells like any other decent lager, has a semi-sweet taste at first sip. Well balanced for such a light beer. Easy to take out the majority of a six-pack after a long day at work.

Didn’t really care for this one. It was too weak. Not a lot of flavor and I thought it smelled skunky. Maybe it was that particular bottle, but I sort of get the feeling it wasn’t just that one.
