Very flowerly aroma, fruity and fresh. Dense white head, hazy yello color. Flavor is malty, sweet and fruity with light flowerly notes. Notes of honey, hoppy. Hop bitter finish. Very good, flowerly bock.

Draught@brewpub. A bit hazy yellowish golden colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is grassyness, some bready malts, mild alcohol as well as quite herbal notes. Flavour is quite strong on the malty side with mild notes of alcohol as well as some mild honeyish notes. Sweet malty finish.

Had this in route to Bamberg from Munich. They had no weizen so I read this one was the best here. I fantastic beer. One of my favorites for sure.

(draught, at the Altstadthof brewpub) pours a clear golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of herbal hops, honey, lavender and a touch of grain. flavour is fruity, grassy hops over a backdrop of honeyed grain and light wood. medium body with smooth carbonation and a light bitter finish.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2009 A great Heller Bock. Very fresh and crisp flavor with a nice finish. Great with the sausages. In my mind one of the best beers in Germany. Watch out they will sneak up on you since they go down so easy. Only availible in the springtime.

i loved altstadhof schwarzbier but this was still my favourite beer that i had there. amazing passionfruit aroma that is alwazs so inviting in kellerbiers but rare to find in a bock. tasted initially of passiona, little sign of the slightly offensive alcohol of some bocks. seems to have been very well lagered. some plum comes through with some orange pip dryness. not much bitterness there but the sweetness is very pleasant, not sweet or syruppy at all, and this is an amazingly drinkable bock
