Yes my people, it is bock season! Despite the sad lack of bocks available thus far this season, I must partake of this traditional style and share my musing with you, my disciples. My first bock of the season was Abita's Mardi Gras. A lighter, pale copper color, Mardi Grad Bock was nonetheless a hearty, malty brew with a thick foamy head.
Very little hop bitterness, and quite clear...but bocks
are lagers after all. A bit of bock trivia for you: at times bocks were brewed by monks during times of fasting to provide nourishment! Abita Mardi Gras Bock is very creamy and full-bodied. Pretty decent...not killer, but eminently drinkable.
