Arcobrau Urfass (5L, 4.9%)

Arcobrau Urfass is a Munich Helles lager from Moos, Lower Bavaria, Germany, at 4.9% ABV in a 5-litre mini keg. It is brewed by Arcobräu Gräfliches Brauhaus, a noble family-owned brewery. The brewery draws water from its own well drilled to over 300 feet, and its yeast is propagated from a strain originating at Weihenstephan. The beer follows the Munich Helles template with pilsner malt, noble hops and extended cold conditioning. The nose has sweet honey, fresh biscuit malt, delicate floral hop notes and a light grassy undertone. The palate is clean and malt-driven, with bready pilsner malt, soft honeyed sweetness and measured noble hop spiciness. The finish is medium, crisp and dry, with rounded bitterness, lingering biscuit and a trace of floral hops.
