Bock·Austria·7.8% ABV·One of 79 Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share 525's full-bodied and caramel character. First brewed in the brewery's 525th year and named after the Pantone shade used for the bottle. A bottom-fermented bock, left unfiltered, made from Tyrolean malts and aroma hops. Copper in colour, with ripe apricot, caramel pastry and a resinous note of fresh conifer wood in the nose. The palate is full but stays fresh, with balanced bitterness.
