Hop BroThis is Munich-style Helles, batch 0037 "Muninn" from Mahou Brew in Tsuboya, Naha City.
MugiHuh, what’s Helles? I get lager, but now there’s another spell to learn!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a pale German lager that aims for a clean drinking feel rather than flashiness.
MugiWow, and at 5.0% ABV and 22 IBU, it sounds easy to drink with just the right numbers!
Hop BroThe point is that it uses Pilsner, Vienna, and Melanoidin malts, with Hallertau Mittelfrüh adding a floral aroma.
MugiWhat’s Melanoidin? That name suddenly sounds way too strong, like the beer world’s final weapon!
Hop BroIt’s an element that adds malt aroma and body. That’s why the sweet malt aroma and hop aroma harmonize beautifully.
MugiI see, so that’s why it’s clean and smooth with very little off-flavor! Such careful design from Mahou Brew in Tsuboya.
Hop BroIt’s the third release after Sleipnir and Huginn, and the appeal of Muninn is how it keeps refining the classic lager line.
MugiThat explanation alone makes me want to drink it! Today I want a glass of this lager and a quiet taste test!
A Traditional Helles from Tsuboya, Naha
Mahou Brew is a craft beer brewery based in Tsuboya, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. In a place known as a pottery-making area, it offers a diverse lineup of styles suited to Okinawa’s climate and people, while emphasizing a "thorough commitment to quality" and "hidden strength within."
The newly introduced "Muninn" is positioned as part of the company’s classic lager line. Its style is Munich-style Helles. Batch number: 0037. ABV 5.0%, IBU 22, FG 1.010, SRM 4. The grist uses Pilsner, Vienna, and Melanoidin malts, Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops, and WLP860 yeast.
According to the official website, the flavor centers on the harmony between floral, herbal hop aromas and sweet malt character. The mouthfeel is clean and free of rough edges, and overall it is extremely smooth. Rather than pushing a strong individual character to the forefront, it is designed around the drinkability that defines lager.
Mahou Brew has also released other European-style classic lagers, including Sleipnir (Dortmunder Export) and Huginn (Czech Pale Lager). Muninn is the third in that line, and serves as a beer that shows how the brewery refines both the breadth of craft brewing and the fundamentals of lager. More than flashiness, it is worth noting for its clean balance and easy drinkability.
