Brand Lentebock

Tap to rate

Fruity and fresh: every sip of Brand's Lentebock carries the start of a new season. A special blend of roasted malts and top fermentation shape this spring bock, and the Saaz hops get the credit for the freshness. It is brewed from water, barley malt, hops and hop extract.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and malty, with toasted and lightly roasted grain flavors providing body and subtle sweetness. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: the Saaz hops deliver a noble, slightly spicy dryness that counters the residual malt character, while faint fruit esters add freshness. The bitterness is restrained (24 IBU), allowing the malt and hop interplay to take center stage without astringency.
