I understand why Dutch people are so fond of a bock: full of flavour, a bit boisterous and hip to drink when the weather is getting chilly. It is time that Belgium and the rest of the world give in to this.
LARA
For Ride a Bull, the third beer in the Bucket List Series, the challenge was even greater than with the previous one, but if even Jean-Luc Dehaene (a former Belgian Prime Minister) can conquer a bull, then The Musketeers will have to succeed as well.
The result is a nice ruby-red beer with good drinkability, a slightly sweet but balanced malt character, supplemented by a light touch of roast malt. The warm, slightly spicy beer contains 7.5% alcohol, which makes the beer tasteful and gives its character. A soft autumnal finish completes the taste palette.
Brewers talking
Unknown in Belgium, but super popular in the Netherlands: a bock beer has been on our Bucket List for a long time. It is such a typical autumn beer: caramel notes and a higher maltiness, that really something special. Try it yourself!
