🌍 United States · Honey Bock · One of 1 Honey Bocks in hopIQ

Lost Forty's honey bock — 6.3% ABV, full malt character with local honey layered onto the caramel-and-toasted-malt Bock frame. Fuller than the Easy Tiger Mexican lager, cleaner than a Doppelbock — a mid-strength malt-forward lager for the Arkansas cool months. Named for the way honey-forward beers are hard to stop drinking.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Lost Forty Love Honey Bock

Appearance

Medium amber in color with a warm, honey-touched glow. The head forms with modest persistence and fine Schaumhaftung along the glass. Clarity is clean and bright, with gentle carbonation evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

medium amberclean, brightfine carbonation

Aroma

Honey leads immediately on the nose, layered generously over a foundation of caramel and toasted Malz. Subtle floral and bready notes emerge with time, supported by a clean, understated yeast character that allows the adjunct and grain to breathe freely.

Taste

The palate opens with smooth honey sweetness balanced by light caramel maltiness and a gentle toasted grain texture. Mid-palate shows bready, slightly nutty complexity without becoming cloying. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, finishing clean and dry enough to invite the next sip.

Finish

Medium-length finish with honey and caramel notes lingering softly, followed by a light, clean drying sensation. The aftertaste is neither sticky nor austere—a measured farewell typical of well-crafted mid-strength lagers.
