Celis Pale Bock

Visit CELIS.com

It is said on their web site: “ A top-fermented, copper-colored ale, Celis Pale Bock derives its rich red flavor from a blend of malts from the Midwest. Like its companion Celis White, Pale Bock is seasoned with our signature coriander and Curacao orange peel. The malts, balanced with the Willamette hops give it a warm body and aroma as well as a flavor that stays with you. This beer is especially good with heartier fare, such as roast chicken, smoked ham, venison and Southwestern dishes.”

To me there is not a strong coriander or curacao orange peel profile like that of the Celis White. The taste comes across as a dry, grainy, and herbal in character. This is not super interesting but, there is something that is likable about this beer on a fall or winter day. There is a bit of a watery profile to make it drinkable and this should make for a good beverage to drink with a quality cigar.

Buy: purchase one bottle before picking a six pack.
