3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap, at Artebirra 2003, Italian Craft Beer festival in Milan. Dark golden-orange colour, light haziness, creamy head. Very fruity aroma ("yellow" fruits: peach, apricot), light caramel, toffee, weak citrussy. Taste is fruity again, clean bitterdry finish. I want to re-rate it soon, at the Birrificio brewpub!

Amber body with a tall lasting whit ehead. Floreal aroma with some caramel. Taste is pretty the same. Too hoppy for being a bock, a good beer anyway.

Ottima!! Aroma fruttato con un sottofondo piacevolmente luppolato. Al gusto eccoci di nuovo a parlare di frutta con una predominanza di albicocca matura. Torna in sordina, e non te l’aspetti, il luppolo (Diamine è una Bock!!!) che pulisce la bocca e la rigenera. Gustosa. Questi la birra la sanno veramente fare.

Draught, half pint at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fa. Next to clear golden-brown body, topped by a beige head. Floral fruity aroma with earthy malts behind. Toffee-like malt in flavour joined by grassy hops. Malt-bitter ending. Crispy in the mouth. Well-balanced and refreshing (Roma, 30.03.2012).

Draught at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fa. Lovely bright amber color with a tall head. Nice aroma of noble (Saaz?) hops, earthy amber malts, caramel. Flavor is caramel and a bit of somewhat strange fruit—peaches or berries maybe? Caramel is light but there. Nice, grassy hops. Very drinkable and tasty, and well hopped for a bock. One of the best in the style I’ve had.

Come Heller Bock è un po’ particolare per via dell’utilizzo massiccio di luppoli in quantità maggiore che nella tradizione tedesca, non mi ha soddisfatto molto.

On tap at Selezione Birra 2012, Rimini. Pours a light brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is grassy and hoppy with floral notes. Taste has a good amount of hops on a sweet-ish caramel malty base. Good carbonation. Nice balance and quite tasty.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours light brown with a decent white head. Nose is hoppy, pilsner smell. Both in malt and in hops. Taste is mostly bitter with some minimal sweetness. Mothfeel is crisp and sharp. Nice aftertaste.

Bella bock pulita, dolce e avvolgente, rotonda, non sfigura di fronte alla più blasonata tipopils.

Draft at ’Ma Che Siete’ in Rome. Rich amber, foamy head. Pretty tart, right bock. Smooth, dry-funk finish. Great balance, interesting.

Bottled. The aroma has grass and bready caramel malts. Copper - reddish coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is light sweet and bitter, has some grass, caramel malts and grains. Good bock.
