🌍 United States · Helles Lager · One of 110 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

A clean Helles-style lager built on the finest German malt with continental noble hops. Crystal clear, a whisper of bread crust up front, subtly hop-aromatic, drier than the Bavarian standard. Boxing Bear's tip of the hat to the Munich school from New Mexico — inside a US craft catalog, a deliberate counter-weight to their own IPA lineup.
