Water Street Munich Helles

Brewed by Water Street Brewery
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

1/2 liter draft in Milwaukee. Filtered orange tan color. Balanced malt flavor, this one is right on. In no way encapsulated into US macro confines, official stuff that captures the best of Bohemian drinkability. Subtle and delicious.

On tap downtown. Pour was clear amber-straw with a nice head, which produced pretty good lacing. The aroma was grassy with some grainy malts also present. The flavor was likewise grassy and grainy, pretty smooth beer, high summer drinkability. The mouthfeel was on par for the style, refreshing. Nice one within a somewhat boring style.

on tap. Pours a transparent pale yellow. Small white head. Aroma is wheat/cereal grain. The flavor was much the same, with a bit more of an earthy grass flavor. Crisp and clean, and light on the palate. Much better than most of their other offerings.

Sampler poured draft at the brewpub (milwaukee, wi). Pours a nice organish amber hue, light haze, with bright white head that dies to a film. Aromas are muted, light biscuity malt with a faint spice. Initial is bready, a bit fuller in body than the previous. Laces well, mellow sweetness that is pleasant. Not a lot of hop presence, a bit of a skunk finish. Liked it, despite what other reviewers seem to feel.

Sample at Delafield. Had a decent lemon aroma and flavor Nice golden body with white head.

Pours to a light gold colored body with lots of visible carbonation. Nice looking white head. The aroma is light grains. The flavor is grainy and has a light sweet malt. The palate is mediocre at best.

"Munich Lager". Fading white head, light amber color. Nose doesn’t pick up much, other than a hint of hops. Buttery, slightly sweet oaty taste w/ a touch of piney hops.

clear yellow nice well laced white head, light wheat and barley scent palate is carbonated and well coated. Flavor is a tinge bitter w/ a lemon rind in the finish after a sweet start. Ok.
