3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Opened with a loud bang but no gush thankfully. Bottled in Feb 10, so a year and a half old. Pours gold with a lot of suspended sediment. Aroma of grain, fruit. Taste is sweet, some herb and pepper, a lot better than expected, very mild and smooth.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Smells a little sweet. Darker yellow haze. Bubbly head. Strong sizzly first taste. Yess-sir, this is way over 6%. Slight burn down the throat. Interesting fermented friut or something background. Bitter alky blast. Finish is quite long and strong. Not excited.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Its what was expected. Aroma was thin and weak. Slightly grainy with a thin light malt backbone. Pour was a nice enough light gold with plenty of rising bubbles and a one finger white head. Taste was very thin. Light grainy malt is all I got from the flavor with that typical lager phenol after taste. Medium carbonation. Blah
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Fruity aroma and taste. Light colored apearance. Way too much head. Overall, not what I was expecting for a pale ale.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle pours a clear amber with MASSIVE white head. Malty fruity bready scent. Taste is malty with hints of fruit....high carbonation.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Coppery gold in color. An off-white head. Aroma is sweet like honey. Taste is sweet and malty but crisp. Alcohol is well masked. Interesting.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a transparent golden brass with a spotty-lacing froth of white head. Has a true to style sweet pale malty grainy nose with some noble hop character. Starts with average fullness and some light malty sweetness with a touch of honey sweetness and grassy noble hops before a drier bittersweet finish. Heller bocks aren’t one of my favorite styles, but this does pretty well matching the style guidelines.
