Commercial Description:
Brewed in the tradition of the Helles (Pale) lagers that are popular in the Bavaria region of Germany. This lager is deep golden in color with a pleasant, malty aroma balanced by a rich, smooth flavor. Troutbrook Brewing Company uses only authentic Moravian and German malts along with a Bavarian lager yeast strain to create this smooth and flavorful brew. Cool fermented and aged for six weeks, this beer is made to be delicate but yet still hearty. This beer is great anytime of year but particularly refreshing in the summer. Cheers!

5/08/2008: Thomas Hooker Munich Style Golden Lager pours a hazy/cloudy yellow color with LOTS of fluffy and pillowy white head. The aroma is light grainy with hints of toasted malt and some grassy hops and lemon-like tones coming through as well. The flavor is malty (lighty sweet pale malt) with some nice yeasty bread and fruit qualities (some light citrus too) and balanced with some soft grassy and earthy hops. Crisp and refreshing finish. The body of this beer is medium-light to medium and is extremely smooth and easy on the palate. I would say that this is a solid Helles beer that is especially sessionable. I would drink this regularly if it were available to me.

500 ML flip-top bottle ($6.79) from Derosier’s in Freeport, Maine. Rating #74 for this beer...

Draft @ dba. Yeah, not awful but not memorable. Poured a nice gold with not a ton of head. Taste of grass and other flavors. Mine was mildly skunky.

Grainy yeast aroma with a mild amount of tangy fruit. Cloudy orange-golden color with a small white head. No lacing to speak of. Initial light bitterness that fades on the way to the finish. Creamy palate.

Ths beer has a cluody color to it with no head at all. there is a faint aroma of malt and mild hops not very strong though. It has a initial flavor of nuts and mild earth flavors. The palate is very bland and kind of plain like a pale lager it is a little smooth like honey but not very sweet.
