Kesselring Bockbier
Privatbrauerei Kesselring Gmbh & Co. KG

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle.

The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is classic German lager with a lot of toasted malts as well as a little bit of grass from the hops. The flavor is more of the same. I get some earthy and grassy hops as well as some bread from the malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Clear golden beer that smells like sweet flowers with a good bit of pale malt and a whiff of alcohol. Short, dense, foamy off-white head faded quickly to a patch film. Full malt flavor up front with just a hint of caramel/butterscotch. Tea flavored hops and maybe even a bit of pear balance things out and it end with a fresh floral finish. Body is moderately light and the fine carbonation and alcohol produce a nice tingleing sensation on the gums. I'm by no means a bock expert, but this beer tasted pretty good and matches what I read about bocks in Beer Styles. If I had to describe this in terms of another more popular style I would say that it is malty Helles with a little more alcohol.
