Griess Bockbier
The Bockbier is the only batch of its kind the brewery makes each year. It is tapped at the Bockbieranstich at the brewery and then poured through the winter months. The unfiltered bock lagers for about three months and is hopped with Hallertauer Tradition and Herkules; its colour sits at pale amber. Honey and caramel malt lead the nose, joined by a floral, lightly peppery hop note and a hint of pineapple and citrus. The body is leaner than the strength suggests, and a pronounced bitterness carries through to a dry finish.
