Commercial Description:
Known as a pale or "blonde" bock, and of German origin, this stye is generally reserved for spring consumption. It's very malty in flavor an aroma, has practically no bitterness. But a small amount of the hop aromas may come through. Full bodied and hearty, this style was inteded to ward off those nipping remnants of winter as the early Germanic gatherers returned to the field to replenish their stores of food. The phrase "a porkshop in every glass" could very well have originated with this bock style. It was filling and the high alcohol content made the hardships of the hunt a lot more tolerable.

Pours copper with a sweet caramel aroma. Slight honey flavor with a good hop presence. ABV is masked very well.

Growler courtesy of Skyview. Copper color with a medium head. Honey aroma and some Noble hop. Sweet honey taste with a medium hop bitterness. Tasty fine.

From Skyview’s growler. Caramel aroma. Sweet but a lot of bitter hops for the style, and interesting idea that has worked fairly well. The high abv is well hidden. One of South Shore’s better creations.

On tap at Wilmarths Deepwater Grille. Dark honey color with faint creamy head. Very sweet apple in the nose and body. Lots of sweet malt as well.
