Common descriptors are
This Munich style lager was brewed with German Pilsner and Munich malts as well as a small addition of molasses. The result is a very crisp and clean profile that really lets the high-quality malt character shine through. The sweetness of the malt is balanced with generous additions of low alpha acid Crystal and Hersbrucker hops to keep a truly German flavor in the base beer. To condition the brew, we aged it for 20 days in Maker’s Mark bourbon barrels, the resulting whiskey character is prominent and complex but not overpowering.
