Tap to rate

A scent of summer meadow leads into a spicy Bock with malt notes, rounded off by a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Brewed from barley malt, hops and brewing water, 6.5% ABV. The name Bock itself comes from Einbeck: Bavarian dialect turned 'Ainpöckisch', meaning Einbeck style, into 'Oanpock' and finally into Bockbier.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and malty, with soft caramel and honey sweetness supported by a clean, grainy base. Mid-palate develops with subtle spice from the hops and a light, crisp character that prevents cloying. The finish brings a pleasant, measured bitterness that rounds out the malt sweetness without harshness.
