I've seen it described as a North German Pilsener (like a Beck's, as opposed
to Bohemian pilseners like Pilsener Urquell.)

B*ll*cks. Uttering such a thing in a Bavarian Kneipe could see you
landing head first on the pavement...

But it doesn't seem hoppy enough to be a pils.


Indeed. And it's in no way "North German" in style

I've also seen it described as a Muencher Helles. But it tastes much drier
to me than the Spaten, which is the original helles.


It's a Helles. And it's a Muenchner helles, obviously, being brewed in
Munich...
Besides, Spaten is not necessarily the original Helles either, since the
style has changed over the decades due to changes in brewing methods.
Same for Pilsner Urquell, which certainly is in no way like what in was
in the 1840s...
Basically it's very hard to call anything "the original insert style",
because that would imply the product hasn't evolved since it was first
brewed.
