Pinzga' Craft Bock

◎ Aussehen

Amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with good lacing. The carbonation is gentle and steady, appropriate to the bottle-conditioned format. The colour sits comfortably in the medium-amber range, suggesting restrained caramel malt character.

◌ Aroma

The nose balances fruit-forward notes—subtle stone fruit and ripe citrus—with clean noble hop character and soft grain impressions. Underneath runs a thread of caramel and honey sweetness from the malt bill. The yeast contributes a gentle, slightly fruity undertone without dominating; the spring water's mineral character remains discreet in the background.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malt-driven, with caramel and honeyed grain flavours establishing the foundation. The mid-palate reveals ripe fruit—pear and apricot notes—balanced against restrained hop bitterness that sits at 25 IBU. The spirit's warmth is present but unobtrusive, lending a soft, drinking-friendly texture without harshness. Finish transitions cleanly from fruit to a light, lingering malt sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length with a gentle fade from fruity sweetness into a dry, lightly grainy aftertaste. The alcohol warmth lingers without becoming spicy or aggressive, leaving the palate warm and satisfied.
