Brouwerij Hommeles from Utrecht crafts Sunny Afternoon as a classic spring bock that returns to the range each year. This amber-coloured beer at 7% ABV draws on local ingredients: Utrecht gale, apples and pears from regional growers, and honey that shines through clearly in aroma and taste.

Despite its higher alcohol content, the beer drinks fresh and approachable. The use of caramalt adds colour and flavour depth without heaviness. A thirst-quenching beer with character, a regular at spring bock festivals that pairs well with rich fish, spiced dishes and meat.
