A nice bronzed copper colour with a cream coloured foamy head with tiny bubbles of carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass to join in.
It smells strongly of yeast and hops with some maltiness a little more subdued and with a hint of citrus.
The malt comes right to the forefront with the yeast and hoppy bitterness slowly overtaking it. The citrus comes in at the end and lightly lingers on the tongue to finish cleanly.
It is very typical of the Bavarian Bocks that it was styled after, in both flavour profile and alcohol content (7%) without losing any drinkability. It would pair well with any traditional Bavarian fare, think perogies, bratwurst and sourkraut. Of course, it drinks well on its own as well.
