A sour beer from the very beginning – this honey bock matured for over 10 years in the first oak barrel ever used for sour beer aging in Hofstetten. After the barrel was reassembled and planed on the inside, it was filled with linden blossom honey bock. Not only did the honey for this beer come from the Hochland beekeepers, but also the blueberry wine lees with which the barrel was inoculated. As a result, the beer drew deep flavors from the oak wood, while lactic acid bacteria from the wine lees developed a pleasant acidity.

On the nose, bold notes of propolis and linden blossom honey are immediately apparent. On the palate, these combine with the pronounced oak character of the wooden barrel and a wonderful acidity reminiscent of apples. Very lean and dry, the beer finishes with a delicate propolis note, leaving you eager for another sip.

This beer is perfectly suited as an aperitif or alongside salads and light-colored meats. With its interplay of slightly sweet honey-wax aromas and a tart, fruity note, it is a true all-rounder and an ideal introduction to the world of sour beers.
