Classic Beer Style Series, #17- Barvarian Helles

First created in Munich in 1894, it is perhaps the most delicate beer imaginable, and must rely in its incredible subtlety to please the palate. Munich's famous beerhall helles, the palest of lagers, has almost no nose or up-front bitterness. Straw blonde and topped by a tall, white crown, it is the quaffing beer of the Bavarians. As authentic as his subject, Horst Dornbusch captures the spirit of this lovely brew with accuracu, warmth, and wit, And for the Munich helles, although not as widely known as other German lagers, its future in North America may have only just begun. Brewers will treasure this book, as will beer enthusiasts who want to learn more about it.
