Spaten may be more famous for its Optimator doppelbock, but its helles bock is no less stellar. Surprisingly pale in the glass, it has a long-lasting crown. The aroma is full and malty, with a fresh but soft hop aroma. The palate is full but somewhat crisp, and rich with pale malt character. The hops serve only to hold up the malt. With 600 years of brewing behind it, Spaten never seems to disappoint. This is a classic German blond bock, suitable for any time of the year.
