Tap to rate

A hint of grape must tickles the nose, and the taste unfolds through moderate hop bitterness and malt notes. This spring Bock is brewed from barley malt, hops and brewing water to 6.5% ABV. Martin Luther praised Einbecker beer in 1521, and the Einbeck-style 'Ainpöckisch' later gave Bockbier its name.

◐ Taste

The palate unfolds with a full, smooth body and pronounced malt presence that anchors the beer from entry through mid-palate. Moderate hop bitterness emerges cleanly without harshness, supported by caramel-tinged malt sweetness and a barely perceptible fruity complexity that echoes the aromatic promise.
