SPATEN MÜNCHEN ~ SPATEN-FRANZISKANER-BRÄU

Spaten, a helles lager, was sampled in from a tin. It poured crystal clear golden straw colour with a minimal white head. The retention was poor, but the head did leave some minimal lacing down the glass. The nose was mild but did contain bready and grassy malts, floral and peppery hops, sweet yeast and lemony citrus. The taste was crisp and clean. The hops were up front and the malts followed leaving no bitter aftertaste. The beer is a refreshing summertime drinking brew - nothing super special, but far from terrible.
