Dinkel Bock is quite refreshing inspite of its 6.6 % abv. It shows a distinct dry/fruity finish which comes completely unexpected from a German brewery. The estery character of Rudi Hirz’s house yeast and the unique Hallertauer Saphir/Austrian Opal hop combination (plus dry-hopped with Opal hop) harmonize very well. Its big body consisting of Pilsner malt, Rudi Hirz’ own floor malted barley and Spelt provide the perfect malt sweet balance.
Malts used:
Pilsner malt, Floor malted barley, Spelt (dinkel = historic grain , subspecies of wheat grain)
Hops used:
A very special three country mix: Saphir (Germany), Opal (AUSTRIA), Saaz (Czech Republic)
