Broyhan's Bock
Gilde USA

On tap at Crust & Craft(formerly Brixx) in Greensboro. Pours fairly hazy medium orange/amber color with a thin white head, with light spotty lacing and streaming carbonation on the glass. Aromas and flavors of big ripe banana, bubblegum, clove, peppercorn, pear, apricot, red apple, raisin, plum, fig, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, herbal, grass, light pine, and yeast earthiness. Light-med pine/herbal/grassy bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium plus body. Balanced creamy/bready wheat and sticky hop mouthfeel. Lingering sticky hop drying, no cloying sweetness. This is like banana bread with stone fruits. Minimal warming 7.5%. Spot on style, big yeast complexity.
