Hendrik 1
A Maibock the way it was originally meant: plenty of hops and a little more alcohol, so it keeps tasting good all summer long. Lightly sweet and malty, with a touch more bitterness. It comes from the copper kettles in Gramsbergen, where the malts are chosen with care for balance, and is best at about 6 °C.
