EisBock is typically associated with a high ABV compared to other lagers.

• A. Low ABV
• B. Moderate ABV
• C. High ABV
• D. No alcohol

Answer: (C)

EisBock earns its standing among lagers because of its unusually high alcohol content, achieved through a freeze-distillation process. After brewing, the beer is partially frozen and the ice is removed, concentrating the remaining liquid. Removing water in this way raises the beer’s ABV and intensifies its flavors. As a result, EisBock sits well above typical lagers in strength, commonly around 9–14% ABV, whereas most lagers run about 4–6% ABV. So the hallmark is its high ABV compared with other lagers. It isn’t low, moderate, or non-alcoholic.
