Bootleg Brewery's Munich Helles Cold Crash is a captivating lager that effortlessly captures the essence of the classic German Helles style. With its golden-bronze pour and fine-bubbled white head that dissipates slowly, leaving a delicate lace on the glass, this beer is a visual delight. The aroma is a harmonious blend of grainy malt, floral hops, and a subtle sourdough tang. As the beer warms, notes of biscuit, hay, and freshly baked bread emerge, adding depth and complexity to the experience. On the palate, the Munich Helles Cold Crash delivers a refreshingly crisp and clean taste. The malt backbone provides a bready sweetness, which is expertly balanced by a subtle hop bitterness that contributes a hint of citrus and spice. The sourdough-like tang adds an intriguing dimension, making this lager truly unique. The medium-bodied, moderately carbonated mouthfeel results in a smooth and easy-drinking experience. The crisp finish leaves a lingering dryness on the palate, inviting you to savor each sip. At 6.2% ABV, this German-style Helles lager from Bootleg Brewery is an exceptional choice for warm summer days or any occasion calling for a thirst-quenching yet complex beer.
