Dix Spring Bock

Sweet and grainy nose. Brilliantly clear golden body is topped by a shy white head that recedes rapidly to a constantly replenishing partial cover with scant lace. Flavour is quite sweet and grainy with a note of creamed corn. Light medium body is quite dry and has fairly assertive carbonation. On the menu simply as Helles Bock. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.

Slightly hazy copper-amber colour. Spicy, malty aroma is very appetizing. Body is slightly watery but the same clean maibock flavours are there - fresh bready malts and peppery alcohol. If only the body was a little heftier and I didn’t get that wateriness obscuring those flavours.

Copper-coloured beer with a thin off-white head. Faint caramel malt aroma with a light spicy hop aroma. Well-balanced and slightly bready. Spicy/earthy hop flavour with a bit of sweetness in here as well. Pretty good, but not spectacular.
