From the label

“Munich-Style Helles Helles was Munich's answer to Pilsner in the 19th century. The original Munich lager was "dunkel" (dark) this one is "helles" (pale)... no one has ever accused the Germans of being whimsical with their beer style names! We brewed our version with our favorite extra-pale German Pilsner malt, Aromatic malt for a bready aroma, and just a touch of German Magnum hops for balancing bitterness. It's clean and crisp, with a malty balance despite the dry finish! Prost! Mike & Scott”

The label names its hops — German Magnum — which is enough for a real starting point.
