Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Griess Bockbier
◎ Appearance
Pale amber in color, presenting as a clear, bright lagering. The unfiltered character does not cloud the presentation. Head retention is firm, with stable lacing that clings to the glass through the drink.
◌ Aroma
Honey and caramel malts dominate the nose, creating a rich, sweet foundation. Hallertauer Tradition and Herkules hops introduce a floral character with a lightly peppery edge. Underneath, subtle citrus and pineapple notes emerge, adding brightness and complexity.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with malty sweetness balanced by a pronounced bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Despite the 7.2% strength, the body reads leaner than expected, allowing the hop bitterness and malt character to remain distinct and well-articulated. Spicy hop notes persist throughout, lending definition to the finish.
◑ Finish
The finish is notably dry, with lingering bitterness and a clean, mineral-like aftertaste. The three-month lagering contributes to a smooth, refined conclusion without astringency.
