🌍 Germany · Doppelbock · One of 36 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

The Josefi-Bock is brewed for St Joseph's Day in March and released as a spring seasonal. It is a pale Doppelbock of 18.6 °P, bright golden and clear. The first sip is full-bodied, with light caramel malt and a pronounced hop note from Spalt aroma hops that reads as herbal and spicy. A firm hop bitterness meets a light malt sweetness with hints of honey and white bread, and the alcohol stays well hidden through the long, balanced finish.
