Commonly known as Augustiner Helles, Augustiner-Bräu München Lagerbier Hell is a traditional Bavarian pale lager brewed by Munich's oldest independent brewery (dating back to 1328).
This Munich Helles-style lager benefits from prolonged secondary fermentation. In Munich, Augustiner Helles is nicknamed Grüner August, meaning Green August, a reference to the flash of green on the label depicting a smiling monk.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 28/06/2012
Appearance:
(bbd Sept-12) Clear, bright golden yellow with quickly fading white head and minimal lacing.
Aroma:
White baguette crust, rich tea biscuits and hay with faint Marmite yeast extract-like bitter hops.
Taste:
Generously carbonated. Light-bodied, faintly grassy, stale white bread crust and faint green herbal notes.
Aftertaste:
More white baguette crust and light hoppy notes. Crusty bready notes and marked carbonation set this apart from other light, some would say bland, lagers.
