Mini Bock

Tap to rate

Toasted country bread, chestnut honey and a hint of caramel on the finish, with subtle aromas of orange peel, black tea and dried garden herbs. A combination of pilsner, Munich and chocolate malts builds the base, and Hersbrucker hops add the aromatics. Mini Bock is a playful, sessionable take on a malty German lager at just 4.0% ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with honeyed warmth blooming across the mid-palate alongside toasted grain and gentle chocolate character. Hersbrucker hops provide restrained noble bitterness and herbal complexity at 25 IBU, never sharp. The body balances fullness with drinkability, the finish arriving with caramel notes and a hint of black tea tannin.
