Beers similar to Bamberger Bockbier

Heller Bock·Germany·6.9% ABV·One of 27 Heller Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bamberger Bockbier's full-bodied and bitter character. Pale, bottom-fermented bock, tapped every year in mid-October at the Bockbier-Anstich in the historic Zehntscheune. Bright golden, soft and round in the mouth. The fine, grassy hop bitterness recalls blossom honey, with generous body, slight malt sweetness and a touch of caramel. The echo is long. Brewed at 16.5 °P.
