You didn’t really think I’d let March slip away without a bock post, did you? Because there’s no way I’d do that.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/div>\n

Sure, the bock drought I noted in previous years is still going on (for some reason), but that’s not enough to dissuade me from trying at least one new-to-me variant of this spring varietal! After some serious search, I found a single can of Northern Row’s Cooper Heller Bock. See that goat-disguised barrel on the label art? Yeah, I think this one’ll fit this month’s bill just fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northern Row Brewery & Distillery lives in a pre-Prohibition stock house within Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. They specialize in traditional-style beers that pay homage to Cincinnati’s heritage (meaning they do up a mean German-inspired ale or lager). Head over to their website<\/span><\/a> to find out more about them and their whole distilling deal<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cooper has a spot at the bottom of the brewery’s “Seasonals” page<\/span><\/a>. Here, showcased with what I assume is the bock’s old label art, it’s listed as a 7% ABV “…golden-hued Hellerbock brimming with rich malt character and subtle hop bitterness.” That sounds like exactly what I want to drink in March!<\/p>\n

Cracking into the lager, I’m met with a malt-forward nose brimming with notes of biscuits, honey, and good, hearty grapes. This is coupled with a mild yeastiness, which makes for a stellar bouquet. Melba gave my can six whiffs. I’m starting to see six as her baseline whiff number.<\/p>\n

\"Orange<\/a><\/div>\n

The flavor profile is equally stellar. My first swig begins with notes of plum and grape, which gives way to honey and freshly-baked rye bread. Further pulls bring some straw from the yeast, although that dissipates before the lingering finish of dark fruits and a mild-yet-gravelly hop bitterness.<\/p>\n

Turning to the mouthfeel, it’s sharp and full. Cooper is a crisp, robust, and, ultimately, quaffable bock.<\/p>\n

Cooper is an excellent porch beer. You know when you get home after a long day of work and grab a cold one from the fridge before settling into a porch chair to enjoy it? That’s this. Only, it’s bolstered by the gorgeously warm and windy weather of this evening.<\/p>\n

Northern Row’s Cooper is a solid 9.5\/10. Bock is a style of lager that I’ve really come to love in the last handful of years; the Cincinnati brewery’s take on it here is a killer addition to the style’s canon. Seriously, if you’re lucky enough to find a pack of this on the shelves at your local beer-supplying store, pick it up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
