hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and bready character as Schwarzwald Michel. A Black Forest Helles named after the Michel of regional legend, whom the label casts as a burly woodcutter enjoying a swig after work. It is brewed with whole hops and the brewery's very soft spring water. It pours clear gold under a solid head. Grainy, bready malt with a light sweetness leads, while an earthy, blossomy hop adds spice and a bitterness that tasters find noticeably firmer than in many southern German pale lagers. The finish is dry and moreish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
