Brouwerij De 7 Deugden

This Helles Bock presents a vibrant, seasonal interpretation of the classic German style, grounded in a robust base of grainy-sweet and doughy malt. The traditional profile is artfully elevated by the addition of lemon balm and thyme, which introduce bright, citrusy aromatics and a sophisticated herbal depth. The palate follows suit, where the rich bready character of the malt meets a crisp, spicy bitterness. A clean lager fermentation ensures the botanicals remain the star, leading to a moderately dry and refreshingly aromatic finish. It balances the strength of a traditional spring lager with an unusually fresh, garden-driven complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber in color with a range of 6 to 9 SRM. The beer is brilliant and clear, topped by a large, creamy, and persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity with a dominant grainy-sweet and lightly toasted malt profile. The standard herbal hop notes are significantly enhanced by the spicy, earthy aroma of thyme and the bright, citrus-floral lift of lemon balm. The fermentation profile is clean and free of esters.

Taste. The initial impression is one of rich, bready, and doughy malt sweetness. This is immediately balanced by a moderate hop bitterness and the distinctive savory-spice of thyme. The lemon balm provides a zesty, citrus-like counterpoint to the malt. It is well-attenuated and not cloying, finishing moderately dry with lingering herbal and grainy notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, clean texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 6.5% ABV without any harshness.
