Uttendorf Bock Hell

Tap to rate

A strong aroma, then a taste with lively carbonation. Rounded on the palate and unlike the usual run of its style, it closes finely bitter. In 1980 the brewery put out only 2,000 hectolitres a year; today it reaches about 19,000. Anton Vitzthum's sons, DI Hermann and Dr. Helmut, later took over the business.
