Brouwerij De 12 Stuyvers

This Helles Bock presents a vibrant, contemporary take on the traditional spring lager. A foundation of rich, grainy-sweet Pilsner and Munich malts provides a bready, lightly toasted backbone that supports a firm finish. The sensory highlight is the modern dry-hopping with Huell Melon, which infuses the clean lager profile with distinct aromas of honeydew melon and subtle ripe strawberry. Bright gold and brilliantly clear, it offers a sophisticated interplay between the soft, doughy malt sweetness and the fruity, floral hop accents. The result is a crisp, medium-bodied celebration of the season, marrying classic German structure with fresh, fruity complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber with brilliant clarity. Features a large, creamy, and persistent white head that leaves consistent lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity malt-forward profile of grainy-sweet, doughy, and lightly toasted bread. The dry-hop addition of Huell Melon is prominent, offering notes of honeydew, apricot, and soft berry. Clean lager fermentation with no detectable esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is rich and bready malt with light Maillard products providing a toasted crust character. Hop flavor is moderate, characterized by the specific melon and berry notes of Huell Melon. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced, leading to a clean, moderately-dry finish that avoids being cloying.

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