Sonnen Bock

Bottle, thanks a lot pivnizub! Golden, big eggshell creamy head. Light aromatic hops in the nose. Spicy bread base, light spice, citrussy and grassy hop aromatics in the finish and retronasal. Mellow mouthfeel, slightly resiny hops in the aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle (purchased at the Brauereigasthof): Big creamy, lasting white head, lively carbonation, golden coloured, malty-bisquity nose with a firm hayish-hoppy background; solid sweet-bitter flavour, soft MF, medium bodied; robust, lingering hoppy-bisquity finish with a tinge of alcohol in the bitter aftertaste. Good, hoppy franconian stuff..........

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a beautiful, slowly lacing blond foamy head. Citrus-fruity and slightly herbal hoppy nose with moderately sweet strawy malt and a tinge of honey. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Solid, a bit honey-fruity malty base with a balanced bitter hoppy and herbal touch from the beginning; well-rounded sweet-bitter and quite lasting finish with aromatic herbal hoppy accents. Quaffable pale Bock.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is malts, some alcohol and nice grassyness. Flavourwise it’s quite the same, which makes a very drinkable bockbier.

Golden color, steady white head. Nicely hoppy, grassy aroma. Sweetish, malty, some grassy hops. Quite tasty. Grassy, bitterish finish. After sampling some 15 German bocks in two days, this one is quite good one among them. Very balanced.
