Dit bier is in het voorjaar van 2014 als derde loot van onze seizoensbieren op de markt gekomen. ReuZ Lentebock of meibock is oorspronkelijk een Duitse bierstijl dat vooral in het voorjaar veel wordt gedronken. Tijdens dit seizoen bloeit er nieuw leven in de natuur.

De ReuZ Lentebock vertegenwoordigt het voorjaar met een mooie moutige en bloemige geur en smaak. Het bier kent met zijn 5,5% de doordrinkbaarheid van een pils. Dankzij de ondergist komen de mouten en hoppen extra goed naar voren.

Dit bier won een gouden medaille op de Dutch Beer Challenge in 2016 als beste Lentebock van Nederland. Op de World Beer Award (WBA 2016) in het Verenigd Koninkrijk werd de titel ‘country’s best’ binnen gesleept. Een bier dus waarvan je er in het voorjaar zeker meer van drinkt dan eentje, of het nu thuis is of op het terras.

Aroma of citrus, yeast, orange peel. Flavour is yeasty, more orange peel, some sweetness. Definitely a notch above the usual boring Heller Bock.

Bottle. Amber color. Yeast and dried tropical fruit in the aroma. Malty sweet, yeasty flavor with tropical fruit. Slightly alcoholic. Sticky.

33cl bottle. A slightly hazy golden beer with a huge most good lasting white head. Aroma of mid sweet strong pale malt, grains, mild grassy hops. Taste of grassy and citrusy hops, semi strong pale malt, okay!

Clear pale amber colour, tall frothy off-white to white head, fairly lasting, minimal lacing. Aroma toasted malts, peach, apricot, bread. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, light fruity, grainy, iron malty. Harsh sweetbitter aftertaste, grainy, earthy, medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Mixed feelings about this one, hops not very present, toasted malts come in too strong.

0.33 l bottle from ’Gall & Gall’ (Zaltbommel) at 5.5% abv, 2017 vintage, best before February 2019, brewed at ’Brouwerij Het Nest’. Clear, golden amber with a large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, fruity-floral and slightly grassy aroma of lemon peel, fresh grass, some pineapple and hints of clove. Rather bitter, fruity-grassy and slightly floral taste of lemon, pineapple, grapefruit, some fresh grass and hints of caramel, followed by a medium long, rather dry-bitter, grassy finish. Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice American Pale Ale/hoppy Belgian Ale, not sure what this has to do with a Bock though (call it Lentebier instead maybe). Batch seems to be pretty different from earlier ones, maybe even worth a new entry.

Golden colour. Aroma has some skunky hop and citrus. Flavour has some straw and is fairly dry.

Dutch spring Bock atypically hopped with Simcoe, Cascade and Citra, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Medium thick, snow white, quickly dissolving head leaving behind a stable moussy rim, lightly hazy peach blonde colour with pale orangeish glow and strong visible sparkling. Aroma of bread crust, dried apricot, white pepper, orange zest (the Cascade?), sandpaper, dried banana, coriander seed, dried wormwood, honey, white grapes. Fruity onset, hints of peach and pineapple with a touch of banana ester, light gooseberry sourishness, honeyish sweetness of residual sugars on top, spritzy and bit numbing carbonation. Smooth, rounded cereally malt sweet backbone, caramelly touch, some light powdery yeastiness in the end, hop bitter finish - much more so than traditional in this style - with an almost tonic water-like, resinous quality to it as well as a weak orange accent; malt juiciness and estery fruitiness remain along with soapy coriander spiciness. Decent, more bitter than average for a Dutch lentebok, but I don’t see the need to coriander it and I was expecting a lot more aroma from the American hops, which seem to be a bit lost here.

Sampled 330 ml. @ Tilburgs Bierfestival 2016. Hazy orange, solid white head. Nose is overly plastic, sugar, big plastic, chemical, low iron. Taste is plastic insecticide, chemical, iron, sugar. Chemical & plastic oddly. Not a fan.
