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.

Pours very clear tellow with a white fluffy head. Aroma is malty and hoppy as is the taste. Not too bad, but nothing real special.

Golden color, whit ehead. Malty bready scent and taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium dry bitterness. Quite nice, not so sweet. Works very well with some German style food.

Pours clear yellow with pillowy white head. Aromas has sweet grainy malt with light corn syrup. Medium to light body with lots of carbonation. Initial taste is grainy malts with a bit of slickness and traces of spiciness. Finish has some of the malt, but the spicy hops are predominant. Not that there is really that much of a hop presence - it’s just the main aspect of the finish. Okay beer.

12oz bottle. Indistingushable to me from most Eurolagers. Good flavor, nice layer of foam. Unremarkable.

As a cousin of the pale lager, this is a light golden yellow. The aroma shows quality hops though lighter than some from Europe. The flavor has a bit more bread than most lagers, is very smooth but with plenty of body and malt. The finish is light on hops, but the hop flavor is of top quality even if light, which makes this beer quite refreshing.

Huh. A green bottled beer that isn’t skunky. Anyway, this poured from the bottle a light golden color. Medium sized head. Very watery and thin -- but refreshing in the summertime. When I was expecting the skunky and bitter kick at the end, I was surprised to find it missing. Not the best variation of a Dort/Helles, but a good lawnmower beer.
