By freezing an upper-fermented bock beer, a mighty, bright ice bock develops. This is then stuffed with hop and our legendary Iced IPA is created. This years version is made with Hallertauer Hüll Melon hop pellets.

Dry-hopping
After five weeks of lagering, this beer undergoes a freeze distillation process where the water is extracted. From there, the newly created ice bock is dry hopped, meaning it is combined with fresh hops in a lager tank and left for weeks to develop and absorb the wonderful hop aromas.

330 ml bottle acquired by Werckmeister for me, thanks!
Amber, slightly copper, moderate hazy body, with a big, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of orange, melon, vanilla, some dried fruits, some biscuit.
Tastes of orange, dried fruits, some stone fruits, biscuit, sweet bread, some honey, alcohol.
Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes alcoholic, sweet, moderate bitter, fruity, malty, hoppy.

Nice one. The Hüll Melon hops are a bit noticeable in the nose, but the taste is pretty similar to the other Iced IPAs: Good and quite interesting, but nothing special overall.
