Commercial Description:
Heller Hound Bock is a crisp and malty Maibock, brewed with a special combination of Vienna and Munich malts. With a rich mouth feel and a subtle hop finish this is the perfect brew for toasting the sun's return.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, fully golden with a creamy, white head. Malty nose with some alcohol shining through. Solid body with lots of sweetish pilsener malt and a sophisticated - almost perfumy - edge. Discreet, hoppy finish. Very clean and true to style Maibock. 150506

Pale golden beer with slightly spicy sweet aroma. Taste is same, but lighter, with a slightly grassy component. Fairly drinkable, but by no means a good beer. $1.79/12oz

Bottle: Clear golden, slightly fiery, moderate foamy off-white head, spotty lacing, very little carbonation.   Nose is quite grassy/grainy.   This smells like an imperial Pale Lager to me.   Totally corny even.   Ugh... at least its somewhat clean, slightly sweet, and even a bit smooth.   Nothing about this screams Bock.   Although it is malty, its too corny and cereal like.   Oye vay...

12 oz bottle from 6er. Pours clear golden with smallish white head leaving some lacing as it fairly quicly recedes. Floral hop aroma and some sweet candy in the nose. I’m getting a slight bubblegum taste with sugar along with balanced malt and hop bitterness. I think could use some more hop flavor and a little less sweet. Not bad.

Nice malty aroma that poured a reddish brown. It had a good malty mixed with nutty flavor that ended with some of the light hoppy.

Funky, stinky rye flavors. Like those little toasted rye bits you find in the mix bag of nuts. Bitter in the end. More of a round beer. Some leather flavors.

Bottle. Poured a hazy amber with an average creamy white head that diminished slowly and produced good lacing. Average sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium sweet malt flavor with a light bitter finish of average duration.
