Flying Dog Heller Hound Bock

Draft, medium gold clear with a decent whitish head. Some hoppy aroma. I found the flavor a bit fruity for a bock, almost wheatbeer-ish. Drinkable, but not my favorite, and not a typical bock by definition.

Aroma is malt and light herbal hops. Color is deep golden and has a large head that goes away quickly but leaves lots of lace. Taste is rather simple but good. Citrus and herbal hops with lightly roasted malt. Aftertaste is slightly bitter but mostly dry. Pretty good but in keeping with Flying Dog tradition this is an odd beer for its style.

bottle 12 oz. Clear golden w small head, some lace. Aroma is light roast malt w mod hops. Flavor is semi sweet, a bit BMCish, light hops. Somewhat thin/watery on the mouthfeel, slight bitterness.

This bottled brew poured a small sized head of finely sized foamy mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated hazy orange brown colored body that I found rather light for a bock and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty and bready. Its tingly crisp mouth feel was fresh and lingered well into the finish. It did not have a typical bock flavor. It was more like a wheat. Good but.... The flavor did contain notes of mild biting hops and wheat.

This isn’t a bad bock. The medium amber body carries a good head. The aroma is slightly sweet malts and while the body is lighter than some other bocks, it still is a malty lager. Light and crisp enough to be refreshing, but malty enough to be satisfying.

Mild hop and spice aroma. OK white head that leaves some Brussell’s lace. Color is a light amber. Somewhat sweet maltly taste with weak hops in the back. Many micro Maibocks are better, but this one refreshes when served barely cold. Not cloying, thick or full of alcohol as some are.

Pours amber with a decent white foamy head. Smells of autumn fruits. Taste is a bit on the malty side with apples and caramel shining through.

Pours a deep amber color with a nice white head. Has a nice flavor with little bitterness. Had on draft. Very nice bock
