Sierra Nevada Pale Bock
A spring seasonal that has followed the brewery since the 1990s, Pale Bock is a golden lager brewed from Pilsner and two-row pale malt and hopped with Ariana and Spalter. Biscuit and fresh bread crust lead on the nose and palate, with a soft, grainy sweetness underneath, while the Spalter adds a spicy, lightly herbal note. The body is fuller than its pale colour suggests, the texture crisp, and the finish sweet with moderate bitterness.
