Munich Red
Munich Red is WEST's own take on a red lager, loosely based on the old Vienna beers but brewed with a large share of toasted Munich malt. It gives the beer its reddish copper colour, a smooth and creamy body and a sweet flavour of biscuit and light caramel, with toast in the background. A small addition of Perle hops brings a gentle herbal bitterness that balances the malt without drying it out, so the finish stays round and soft.
