Heavenly Helles 2
Munich Helles • Partial Mash • 5.2 gal
No additional aging needed for this Munich Helles style. Keg, carbonate & drink. Though perhaps slightly dark for style, Very good Helles overall. I recommend racking twice over 4 weeks for improved clearity.

I dont make it often anymore because I'm into IPA's. Still a good beer. It's kind of a beer I don't share.
