A study of hops, our 4Hop Bock blends four half batches each made with a different Styrian Golding hop (Bobek, Celeia, Dana and Aurora) from Slovenia, into one refreshing and balanced brew. With the same German pils and lager yeast used in each, the subtle nuances of the four different hop varieties combine to create a fragrant mead-like aroma with suggestions of flowers and honey, and a sweet, soft malt flavor balanced with spicy, refined hops.

Growler shared downtown during RBWG 2014 - Asheville Late-Nite. Cheers! Pours perfectly clear gold with a frothy, bubbly head. Dry pale malts in the nose, light grassy hops. Medium sweet flavor with notes of white bread, low bitterness, some hay. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to conclude, with nips of bread, honey and more hay. Good one.
