🌍 United States · Munich Helles · One of 6 Munich Helless in hopIQ

Russian River's Munich Helles — 4.75% ABV, soft-bready Pilsner malt lean, gentle noble-hop lift, exceptionally smooth. Not a Pilsner, not a light lager — the Munich in-between, brewed with the same fastidiousness Russian River applies to their hop-forward beers. Packaged in 12oz cans and often paired with STS Pils in mix packs.
