Doppelbock·Germany·8% ABV·One of 95 Doppelbocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Old Fred Green's dark-fruity and boozy character. Plum, damson and ripe banana mark the aroma of Old Fred „green“, a triple-hopped pale Doppelbock in a slightly opalescent saffron yellow. Aged for almost a year, it holds back its intense dry-hopping until the finish, where ripe fruit keeps it company for a long time. 8.0 % ABV at 18 % original gravity.
