Ganz in der Tradition des Bockbiers steht unser charaktervolles HÖVELS Craftbock: tief mahagonifarben, lieblich und dennoch kräftig. Charmant hält es die Balance zwischen seinem kräftigen Ausdruck und dem fein-malzigen Aroma, das durch einen cremig-feinporigen Schaum abgerundet wird.

From the bottle. Tawny red color, clear, with a thin, frothy, beige head that lingers. Aroma is spiced caramel with grainy undertones. Taste has a weak grainy bitterness. The sweetness, such as it is, undertones of cardboard and berry jam. Does its thing and goes down otherwise inoffensively with a touch of cherry candy lingering at the finish. Medium body, a touch watery on the palate, ABV is well hidden. Not worth the attention I‘m giving it.

"Hövels Craftbock", laut Etikett ein „obergäriges Bockbier“, Flasche (33 cl). - Tiefes Kupferrot, klar. - In der Nase mildes süßliches Fruchtkompott, matte obergärige Noten, mildes karamellig-dunkles Malz. - Antrunk viel zu süß mit deutlich spritiger Note, Rübensirup, Karamel. Im Hintergrund blasse, stumpf krautige Herbe. Mild rezent, dünnes Mundgefühl. Im Abgang Karamelmalzbittere und schwache, leicht muffige Herbe. - Billige zuckrig-dünne Malzbrühe. Hat mit "Craft" nicht das geringste zu tun. Und wie ein Altbier schmeckt es auch nicht.
