Commercial Description:
When the Original Münchner was brewed for the first time at the end of the 19th Century, it was a spectacular success. With its hoppy taste, subtle, light and elegant, it becomes ever popular. Today the Paulaner Original Münchner is the best sold Münchner Hellbier (lager beer) in the world and Paulaner's No. 1 export beer in over 30 countries with its wonderfully subtle, spicy, naturally hearty taste.

Unremarkable beer but good enough as a summer quaff. It’s quite a sturdy number with some firm bitterness in the back palate and a grainy flavour that I could mistake for pilsner. Quite smooth though and ok length. Just one of those beers you can’t say too much about (well, something of interest anyway).

Purchased a 500ml bottle at Mexicali Soriana Supermarket for 23 pesos.Reallly good beer. reminds me of Smauel Admas BL but with different kind off hops, grassy , mm some bitterness, and sweetness like almost all Germans, the consistance of the liquid itself its very drinkable and nice to the stomach and throat yet its very heavy, as a meal which is good,

As expected. Pretty good lager but nothing to write home about. Smell is of grass, straw, and slightly sweet. Taste is the same with some hoppiness to it. Refreshing but not that good.

extremely boring, but very clean and refreshing. I should order this in a larger quantity if I am able to find it that way. Bottle at 2nd Annual Treasure Coast Beerfest in Ft. Pierce, Fla.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a medium white head. Aroma is light and slightly sweet with some hints of dry grass. Flavor is sweet and malty at the beginning with a dry grass and slightly metallic hint in the middle. Finish is dry and bitter.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, got it in Munchen.
Appearance: Pours bright golden, shiny, beautiful and impressive, perfectly clear body, body is very well saturated, carbonation is lively and working for a long time, head is snowy white, initially big, decreasing to small after quick period of time and than lasting firmly for a long time, forthy, leaving nice lacing, texture of the body is characteristically oily as for a typical Helles.
Aroma: Notes of aromatic herbal hoppy top, some notes of lemon and lime, mild and sweetish malty background, some notes of grains but not that pronounced as in German Pilseners, rather not sophisticated and not complex, very streight forward and characteristic of its style, refreshing, again mild and inviting to drinking.
Flavour: Very nice, soft, sweetish, malty frony, some aromatic, fresh, herbal hops are going after highly salty and mineral not only due to its mineral water profile but also due to a high amount of carbon dioxide, interesting and quite easy going, well pronounced flavour of a helles with moderate finish duration, notes of wax.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is rather watery, slightly oily, carbonation on palate is lively, finish feel is sweetish, slightly grainy, clean, mineral, I still find Andechser Hell and Hacker Pschorr Helle better than this one.
