The Bock is one of the most popular beer styles in Germany. At the beginning of the cold season, the best time of the beer year begins for many: the bock beer season. Despite all the variations, there is a lot of agreement among the masses of handcrafted bock beers when it comes to the brewing method. The Riegele brewery from Augsburg enriches the bock beer market with a rare example. Their top-fermented Doppelbock is a real rarity among the generally bottom-fermented Bocks and delights with wonderfully fruity notes and a lot of taste.
Augustus presents itself in a cloudy amber tone with great golden color reflections when exposed to light. A stable, beige head of foam tops the beery pleasure and exudes a range of malty notes. On the nose, a soft, buttery caramel note meets the seductive scent of oven-fresh fruit cake. A subtle, floral hop note complements the olfactory aromatics. The initial taste reveals an incomparably creamy, velvety mouthfeel and a medium-weight body. A fruity freshness pampers the palate and brings with it a delicious fruit acidity. The powerful 8.0% alcohol content is cleverly integrated into the complex taste and in no way reduces the lightness. The malt elegantly underlines the fruit character and, in addition to its fruity diversity, gives the beer a down-to-earth base of caramel and soft toffee. The finish is delicately bitter.
The wheat double bock Augustus from Riegele is an incredibly elegant, delicately composed bock.
