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.

One of my all-time favorites. A great lager that goes well with practically anything. Smooth on the taste buds and a terrific after taste going down. Easily one of the best imports I've ever tried.

If I was told I was only allowed one brand/style of beer for the rest of my life, this would be the one. 16.9 oz bottles only. Don’t care for the "green"!

Great light-Helles lager. Personally the best helles available in my neck of the woods. Available at our local german joint, the Student Prince. A very consistent brew, never skunky.

wlajwl (2893) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - FEB 1, 2011

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2011 On tap, very few lagers can beat this. Can be very skunky in a bottle, must be had fresh if had in a bottle.

(bottled). Brilliant pale gold with a grainy malt nose & noble hop aroma. Medium bodied with a nice maltiness, moderate carbonation, and a pleasant hop bitterness that lingers and balances the maltiness to a slighly dry finish. Perfectly balanced like the style demands and highly recommended!
