Das Boot – Helles Lager

In anticipation for Oktoberfest we honored a more modern tradition and created a Munich-style Helles lager. It’s often said that Helles is the most technically challenging beer to create. It can be considered a measuring stick to a brewers ability. To pay respect to the forebearers of the style, no corners were cut. This beer employed a decoction mash, used only nobel hops, and was lagered for 6 weeks. This Helles is 100% naturally carbonated and served brilliantly clear.
Hops: Hersbrucker
Malt: Pilsner
