Bavarian Helles All Grain Kit

O.G: 1049 / Ready: 2 months

Saying the magic words "Ein Bier, bitte" anywhere in Bavaria is likely to result in you drinking some Helles. A delicate, restrained lager, this kit is the product of much self-sacrifice and firsthand research on-site in Munich. The palest malted barley is the centerpiece of Helles, with full, complex flowery and grainy notes supported by understated hopping and a clean, malty lager yeast. Try one of these and you'll have to agree that the world looks very different through the bottom of a liter stein.
