This Helles Bock captures the essence of spring with a vibrant sensory profile tailored for the terrace. A robust foundation of Pils, Vienna, and Munich malts provides a signature grainy-sweetness and a hint of toasted bread. Subtle floral and spicy notes from traditional German hops balance the malt-forward core without overwhelming the palate. While maintaining a clean lager profile, a delicate fruitiness emerges, echoing the brewer's intent for a "fruitig lentebiertje." It pours a brilliant deep gold with a persistent white head, offering a smooth, medium-bodied experience and a crisp, attenuated finish that invites another sip.
Appearance.Deep gold color (approx. 7-8 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a large, creamy, and persistent white head that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet malt and a lightly toasted, doughy character. Low floral and spicy hop notes are present, backed by a very clean fermentation profile and a subtle hint of fruity esters.
Taste.The initial impression is rich in bready and grainy malt flavor with soft Maillard complexity. Balanced by a moderate hop bitterness and low spicy hop flavors. The finish is well-attenuated and moderately dry, never cloying, with a lingering clean malt sweetness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-bodied with moderate to moderately-high carbonation. The texture is smooth and clean, showing no astringency, accompanied by a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
