Crawford Bock

Tap to rate

Malty at heart, this ballpark beer was crafted with the Houston Astros, with the Astros Foundation as its charitable partner. Pale two-row, medium crystal, roasted barley and dark malt meet Hallertau Tradition and Cascade hops at 4.5 % and 15 IBU, in cans and on draft. Karbach calls it always in season. Stadium dogs, Cracker Jacks, peanuts and the seventh-inning stretch are the suggested company.

◐ Taste

The palate opens malty and smooth, with roasted grain and a gentle caramel backbone that carries through the mid-palate. Noble hops provide a soft, herbaceous restraint; bitterness remains understated at 15 IBU, allowing the Malz character to remain the focal point without astringency.
