Doppelbock·Germany·7.9% ABV·One of 100 Doppelbocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Saphirator's caramel and sweet character. A flowering summer meadow, lightly herbal and tea-like, with a herbal-fruity bouquet from Saphir cold hopping and a caramel sweetness from the malt: this golden-yellow, light Doppelbock keeps its 7.9% ABV and 20 °P well hidden. The ending -ator marks a bottom-fermented Doppelbock, after Paulaner's Salvator, whose name Paulaner had protected in 1906. It has 30 IBU.
