Golden Bock
Glissade is a remarkably mellow take on the traditional spring bock. With restrained sweetness, we emphasize subtle malt flavor balanced against delicate aromas of spicy and floral European hops. This complex balance helps Glissade slide across the palate, bracing us against the last cold nights of winter, while its bright golden color turns our thoughts toward spring.

Not an award winner by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems like this style is the go-to for brewers looking to fill the Spring range just after winter finishes. Clean, crisp, sweet bready malt forward despite what the label says, just enough hop notes to be present. Drinkable but nothing special.

Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, en aning smörig med örtiga toner. Lite för kraftfull beska som skymmer de fruktiga smakerna.

Bright clear gold beer, little white head. Light soft palate, a little dry. Even malt, dry and soft. A hint of peach and honey. A bit too much malt dominant but decent. Mild hop bitter aftertaste.

Draught. Mild caramelly aroma. Clear golden colour. White head. The flavour is very caramelly. Has a good semi-clean bitterness to balance.
