Lost Forty Love Honey Bock

Tap to rate

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.

◌ 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.
