Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: Water, Barley Malt, Hops & Hop extract.
Sold as Münchner Hell in Germany, München in the UK and Premium in North America.
This beer is our speciality. In 1894 Spaten became the first brewery in Munich to produce this brand of light lager. Golden in color with a well-balanced hop-flavor. The full rounded body is a superb balance between hops and a malty sweetness.

A bit surprised at the low rating for this one. I’m not much for lagers, but I really like this one. Very light, slightly sweet flavour. Highly drinkable and I think this would make a great summer session beer (if it were readily available here in beer-starved Ontario).

Light golden color and nice carbonation a little sour aftertaste that makes it crisp and drinkable but nothing particularly amazing.

Poured from bottle into Summit glass. Bright, clear and rich gold with fluffy white head. No lacing but quite pretty. Aroma of apples, lemon, hay and maybe a touch of noble hops. Dry malts with an emphasis on apple, grass and hay. Slight spiciness appears at the finish to help balance the beer slightly, but this is mostly about the malts. Moderately high carbonation, light to medium body. I would say it has a dry finish but there is a grainy aftertaste that unfortunately gets in the way. Great German lager for a hot day or as a simple accompaniment to food or friends.

Sample at Esbjerg Beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich malty, hops and notes of citrus. Semi oily.

(Draught at Flying Scotsman, Stockholm) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty, bready nose with grass, butter and some citrus. Malty taste with notes of bread, hay, grass, hints of tropical fruit, some butter and grassy hops in the finish. Medium body with some malt sweetness throughout. Decent lager, but hardly exciting.

Pours very yellowy with a thin white head. Tastes very dry, kinda wheaty, very light on the hops. Overall, goes down pretty smooth, nothing too wrong with it.
