Bock 6.8 º 38 IBU

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Sierra Nevada’s Pale Bock is a celebrated golden lager that captures the essence of springtime with its rich, complex malt profile and exceptional drinkability. At 6.8% ABV, this Helles Bock displays a sophisticated balance of grainy-sweetness and a refined, lightly toasted character. Its heritage as a local Chico favorite shines through a clean fermentation profile and a subtle yet present herbal hop snap. The experience is defined by a deep gold hue and a smooth, well-attenuated finish that masks its strength, making it a robust yet approachable lager that honors its original early 1990s release character.

Appearance. Deep gold in color with brilliant clarity; features a large, creamy, and persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to strong grainy-sweet malt aroma with a lightly toasted, doughy quality; hop character is low but present with spicy and floral notes; clean fermentation with no esters.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich, bready, and doughy malt sweetness; moderate hop bitterness provides balance against the malt backbone; low herbal hop flavor is evident in the mid-palate; finishes clean and moderately dry without being cloying.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture; carbonation is moderate-high; exhibits a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
