What’s this? A light bock beer? Dominion Big Thaw Bock is a variation on traditional bock beer called a Maibock or Heller bock.
The Maibock style of beer tends to be lighter in color than other Bock beers and often has a significant hop character with a higher alcohol content like a traditional Bock. Maibocks are customarily served in the spring and are oftentimes interrelated with spring festivals and celebrations more often in the month of May.
I read that description after I poured this beer into a glass and thought to myself, “Hmmm… this is a lot lighter and hoppier than the bock beers I’m used to.”
That said, this was definitely a good beer, actually similar in taste to last week’s Shiner Dortmunder Spring Ale. Want to more about this beer? Check out the video from the brewery below.
