Greifenklau Roter Bock
Brewery: Greifenklau
Town: Bamberg
Style: Roter Bock 6.7%
Color: unfiltered dark red
Head: 0ff-white, creamy
Nose: richly malty, spicy
Body: medium
Palate: richly malty, nice spice element
Finish: lingering, semi-dry
Served: on tap at the brewery
Impression: I’d not really heard of this one but the Roter Bock style gains stream. Nice off-white creamy head and some spice in the otherwise malty nose. Spice carries into the palate which remains fairly dry despite a relatively low hopping rate. Not a style which grabs me but this one seems well done.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
