Left Hand Rye Bock
Rye Doppelbock, 7.6%
Left Hand Brewing, Colorado
Left Hand beer rules. Seriously, everything that emerges from this Colorado brewery's vats is pure gold. One offering from Left Hand's seasonal Big Mo' Series is Rye Bock Lager. It's a doppelbock, which is a fancy word for a strong beer that uses bottom fermenting yeast and dark malts to create a lager with the appearance and flavor characteristics of an ale.
Facilitating this masquerade, the recipe for Rye Bock combines malted rye with roasted munich and carafa malt. These hearty grains are balanced by the bitter spiciness of northern brewer and perle hops. Translation: this range of ingredients suggests an epic flavor adventure is about to transpire.
