Paulaner Münchner Hell

Beer Description

Paulaner Münchner Hell is the classic Bavarian Helles lager from Paulaner Brauerei München — a style synonymous with the Munich drinking tradition. First brewed in 1928, it represents the quintessential pale, bottom-fermented Munich lager: soft water, quality malted barley, noble Hallertau hops and Bavarian lager yeast combining for a smooth, malt-forward beer with restrained bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish at 4.9% ABV. Brewed in strict accordance with the Reinheitsgebot at Paulaner's Munich facility. Part of the Heineken-connected portfolio through the Brau Holding International joint venture since 2002.
