🌍 Germany · Bock · One of 52 Bocks in hopIQ

Roppelt's Bockbier is a pale bock brewed at 16.8 °P and tapped at the beer cellar at the end of October. The brewery describes it as light amber and easy-drinking; in the glass it shows gold with a slight haze. Honeyed malt sweetness fills the nose, joined by notes of white grape and grain. The palate opens sweet and fairly full before a pleasant hop presence dries it out, and the alcohol stays in the background despite the strength.
