hopIQ found 10 beers with the same honey and spicy-hop character as St. Jakobus. St. Jakobus is the pale bock that, together with Pilsissimus, marked Gottfried Jakob's breakthrough with his own brewing methods, and it has stayed in the Perlach range ever since. It is brewed from organic ingredients at 16.5 degrees Plato. The brewery describes it as elegant, creamy and hoppy. Tasters see a honey to ochre colour and find a sweetish, aromatic nose, full honeyed malt, bread crust notes and a clearly herbal, spicy hop presence that keeps the sweetness in check. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
