Crisp German Maibock

  • Fruity with a malt kick
  • ABV 6.5%
  • IBU 21
  • OG 1061 SG

A strong, German Maibock lager recipe with accentuated fruit from the Munich Malt and a clean fermentation courtesy of the lager yeast and cold fermentation. A simple infusion mash is adequate given the well modified nature of our German Malt, which originates in our Crisp Hamburg maltings.
