Bock 6.5 º 35 IBU

BrewDog

This Helles Bock showcases a robust Bavarian foundation updated with a more assertive hop profile. The sensory experience begins with a firm malty base, characterized by grainy-sweet and toasted aromas derived from a careful selection of two malts. While maintaining the clean lager profile expected of the style, the addition of five hop varieties introduces a complex layer of floral notes, punctuated by subtle citrus and resinous pine. The palate is dominated by doughy and bread-like flavors, balanced by a moderate bitterness that prevents the malt from becoming cloying. It concludes with a crisp, moderately dry finish and a well-integrated, gentle warmth.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (approx. 7-9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a large, creamy, white head that exhibits excellent persistence and lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to strong intensity. Grainy-sweet malt dominates with a distinct toasted quality. Hop aroma is moderately-low but complex, offering floral scents alongside light citrus zest and a touch of pine resin. Extremely clean fermentation profile with no fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is rich and malty, featuring prominent bready, doughy, and lightly toasty flavors. Hop flavor is moderate, mirroring the floral and subtle citrus/pine notes of the aroma. Bitterness is moderate (approx. 25-35 IBU), providing more balance than in darker bock variants. Finish is clean and moderately dry, with a pleasant lingering of toasted grain and herbal hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately-high, providing a refreshing lift. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but contains no harshness or astringency.
