Signal From Noise is a 6.9% Helles Bock. Also referred to as Maibock, this German lager style was historically released to greet the return of warm weather. It was a transitory beer, the bridge from winter’s rich, roasty dark brews to summer’s svelte pale lagers.
Our pale bock was brewer Rich Snyder’s first Ocelot recipe, constructed on a foundation of @EpiphanyCraftMalt’s Helles, Vienna, and Munich malts. This third batch combines our favorite elements of the previous two. Like the 2023 iteration, it features a hearty charge of Munich malt and a longer boil for a deepened malt character and fuller body.
But we’ve brought back the original hop trio for Signal From Noise’s kettle additions: Magnum early on, Tettnanger midway through, and finally Saphir at the tail end. These German varietals contribute a pleasant bitterness and present traditional noble spice, florality, and a hint of sweet citrus.
Brewed in early March and naturally carbonated, this deep golden lager has waited months to make your acquaintance. We think it pairs perfectly with a sunny May afternoon.
