Bock 6.5 º

Ale-Mania Bonn

This Ale-Mania Maibock pours a brilliant gold, reflecting its spring inspiration. The sensory profile is led by a robust grainy-sweet malt backbone featuring a touch of Caramel malt, but is uniquely elevated by a contemporary hop selection. Herkules provides a sturdy foundation of bitterness, while the addition of Callista and Saphir introduces nuanced layers of stone fruit, floral blossoms, and subtle citrus that dance over a clean lager fermentation. On the palate, the doughy richness of the malt is countered by a more assertive hop presence than is typical for the style, finishing moderately dry. It is a vibrant, well-attenuated Helles Bock that balances traditional bock strength with refreshing hop-forward complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold (7 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a large, creamy, and persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to strong intensity. Grainy-sweet malt aroma with a lightly toasted quality and faint caramel notes. Distinctive hop character for the style, showing floral, spicy, and subtle stone fruit notes. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters and a hint of soft alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is richly malty but balanced. Dominant grainy-sweet, bready, and lightly toasty malt flavors with light caramel interest. Hop flavor is moderate, exhibiting floral and peppery spice with a touch of berry. Moderate hop bitterness provides a firm balance against the malt. Well-attenuated and clean finish, ending moderately dry with lingering notes of bready malt and herbal hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, clean texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately-high, providing a crisp bite. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no astringency.
