Heller Bock·Germany·7.5% ABV·One of 38 Heller Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Boomerang's full-bodied and malty character. Passion fruit, gooseberry and elder from the Australian hop Victoria Secret meet the full malt body of a pale strong beer. Boomerang is a light Bock that matured long and cold, then got a cold-hop addition in the lagering tank, so German lager tradition meets English dry hopping. Mosaic is the second hop. It reaches 7.5% ABV, 16.8 °P and 45 IBU.
