While the brewery’s history dates back to 1417, \"Munich Gold\" was originally brewed in the late 19th century to cater to a growing demand for a slightly stronger, more malt-forward version of the traditional Helles. It is a beer that bridges the gap between the everyday \"session\" lager and a celebratory brew, offering a deeper color and a richer body while strictly adhering to the \u003cem\u003eReinheitsgebot\u003c\/em\u003e (German Purity Law).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeer Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lager pours a brilliant, deep golden-yellow, noticeably darker and more \"honey-toned\" than a standard pilsner with a thick, creamy white head and vigorous carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is rich and elegantly balanced. It leads with a dominant scent of sweet, bready malt and honey, followed by a delicate, floral perfume from Bavarian noble hops. You may also pick up a subtle hint of freshly cut grass and toasted grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. It leads with a robust malt sweetness and notes of toasted biscuit, which is quickly balanced by a gentle, spicy bitterness. Despite its richness, the finish remains remarkably clean and \"brisk,\" with a slight mineral dryness that refreshes the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e It sits at a slightly elevated 5.5% ABV with a moderate bitterness of 22 IBU, providing more \"weight\" and complexity than a typical light lager.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Munich Gold is a true product of its geography. It is brewed using locally sourced Bavarian summer barley and a blend of Hallertau Tradition and Hallertau Herkules hops. The beer's unique character is heavily influenced by the hard, mineral-rich water of Munich, which enhances the malt's roundness. It undergoes a long, cold maturation process to ensure its signature \"smooth\" profile and diamond-like clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300271 - Premier Brands Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347600715988,"sku":"745733","price":432.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7645\/6404\/files\/745733.jpg?v=1784769439","url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/hacker-pschorr-munich-gold-50-litre-keg","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
