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.

If you’ve ever had Spaten Pils, this is a "kindler, gentler" version of it. It is definitely not a "light" beer though. It’s got a milder balance and not so bitter hops content. As German beers go, this is pretty tame stuff.

Mild hop aromas, nothing uniquely complex. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Tastes of average hop bittermess and lightly of malt. Nive drinkability and great for refreshment. Overall nothing special. Makes me wish this habit of making lagers lighter and lighter would pass. Would like a more pronounced hop flavor profile.

Tap. This light lager had a mild bite to it with elements of grains and hops. I served a 1/2 barrel of it at a huge Halloween Party last night along with the Oktoberfest and crowd seem to like it. It was very fresh.

50 cL botle (Original Munich Beer, Spain). Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Somewhat hoppy nose, a bit skunky. Flavour starts soft malty with a little sweetness - and gains some bitterness before the finish. Malty flavour return far into the finish as a pleasant malt dryness - not the classic bone dry bitterhops.

Very malty and a lot of hay and grass in this beer. Nice balance from the low level of bitteness.

This is very tasty, full-bodied, yet smooth and well-rounded. It is gold, with a decent white head that dissipates steadily but slowly, and it’s bubbly. The aroma is distinctly of grain and a bit flowery. The taste is toasted grain, with a faint hop bite, and it has a crisp, almost tangy finish. It has good, full body and fairly oily palate for a pale lager. It is tasty and smooth, very easily drinkable.

Pours yellow and clear with a white head. Smells of straw, some sugar, hints of fruit and citrus. Tastes of dry malt, some peppery and some citrussy hoppy hints. Not bad.
