Josephi-Bock
A pale Bock for Lent, poured from Ash Wednesday until it runs out, with Saint Joseph's Day in March as its namesake. It is deep gold to light amber, slightly darker than the autumn Bock, with a creamy white head. The aroma is richly malty with honey and bready notes, underpinned by hops. On the palate it feels fuller and a little more angular than its autumn sibling, with ripe fruit, a faint white-wine-like acidity and more noticeable alcohol. The finish lingers, half dry and half bitter, with hop character showing through.
