Besides the Hallertauer hop varieties Magnum, Aurora and Tradition "Heller Bock Saphir" is dry-hopped with Hallertauer Saphir. Cone hops of Saphir collected fresh from the hop fields are added to the maturation tank. Heller Bock Saphir is aged for 2 months on the hop flowers and gradually impart their fruity/tropical aromas [mango/apricot/] to the Heller Bock. . Heller Bock Saphir remains unfiltered to not lose any of these precious aromas and flavors during bottling.<br /><br />Heller Bock Saphir develops typical alcoholic-warming notes on the palate . Aromas of freshly cut grass, passion fruit and sweet Lime and mango/apricot . The first sip starts subtly sweet before the power of the bittering hops is spreading without being intrusive, and yet a pleasant dry finish remains on the palate.<br /><br />Food pairings:<br />The hop oils harmonize just as well with baked fish as with radicchio, chicory or hearty meat roasts. Courageous connoisseurs pair the Heller Bock Saphir with desert. The sweet accompaniment in this combination enhances all the hop-bitter splendor of the Heller Bock Bock.<br /><br />Original Gravity : 16.5 o Plato<br />Alc/vol: 6.5%<br />IBU: 49<br />EBC: 26<br />
