Germany·Heller Bock
Tap to rate

Herb, malty and fruity all at once, with a full body and a fruity aroma: Schlanke Mathilde is a strong pale Bock at 9.0 % ABV from 24.5° Plato. In the early 20th century the wife of a Hörde mayor got this nickname; a lantern near the brewery still carries her legacy.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with fruity sweetness and malty richness developing immediately on the palate. Mid-palate carries caramel notes and gentle herbal spice; the moderate bitterness (35 IBU) arrives late and resolves cleanly, never harsh, allowing the malt character to remain prominent throughout.
