40 Beers to Celebrate 40 Years! Day 39

Beer: Hacker-Pschorr's Münchener Gold
Type: Lager
Region: Germany
Rating: Novice

Germans are efficient, and they do things well. One of those things is beer. Many of their breweries have been around for hundreds of years. Hacker-Pschorr has been around since the mid 1400's, based in Munich. I'm really digging Munich brewed beers!

Hacker-Pschorr Münchener Gold is a golden-straw coloured lager. The light frothy head sits a good two inches and then quickly dissipates. There's a nice light sweet malt note with a hint of hops. The body is light, crisp and refreshing and is balanced quite well.

Finish is slightly hoppy with a touch of sweet pale malt, and is very thirst-quenching. This is an ideal session beer to drink all afternoon on its own, or with your favourite food. It's easy drinking, pleasant and "a good social lubricant!"

Day 39 gives this fine German lager two glasses up!
