Neuzeller Winterbock

◎ Aussehen

Pours a slightly darker amber hue, characteristic of the Bock style, beneath a firm and persistent head. The beer displays good clarity with a golden-bronze transparency that catches the light. Head retention is stable, with fine Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass walls as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm, rounded malt character—caramel and toasted grain notes provide a sweet foundation. Polaris hops introduce a distinctive cooling element with menthol-like freshness and subtle herbaceous qualities. Beneath these layers lie hints of spice and herbal complexity, reminiscent of cinnamon and lemon balm.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a sweet malty depth, delivering toffee and banana esters that reflect the beer's strength and fermentation character. Mid-palate brings the characteristic icy, menthol-like cooling from the Polaris hop, which cuts against the caramel foundation. The finish is dry and spicy, with lingering notes of herbal complexity that the brewery describes as cinnamon, mugwort, and lemon balm.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length and warming, with the Polaris hop's cooling effect gradually fading into a spicy, herbal aftertaste. Residual sweetness from the malt lingers pleasantly without becoming cloying.

Serviertemperatur 9–12°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
