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.

Clear light amber with a fleeting head. A malty bready smell is faintly sweet. Med bodied with a smooth texture. A mild, but nice nutty malty flavor here with a mildly bitter finish. Not a bad beer, but weak for a bock. 62406

Pours an orangish color. Watery, with diluted hops and citrus flavor. Not very interesting. Emphasis seemed to be on the hops, which goes against what a Bock should be. Seems more like a weak IPA. Pass on this one.

Amber color. Not much special but it is an OK beer. A sweet flavor of mild yeast and hops.

[988-20071215] 355mL (c/o DuctTape, w/ him, jerc). Doughy yeast aroma seems kind of mouldy. Hazy, orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Mild grains and hops and a hint of grass in the flavour. Medium body is watery. Uninteresting.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a thin, dense off-white head that lasted until about midway and lightly coated the glass. Sort of a strange aroma for a bock with only a hint of malt detected with some grassy hops. The flavor is similar with only a little bit of malt along with some grassy hops. Weak finish with a watery mouthfeel. Disappointing.

Bottle, pours dark orange with a small off white head. Attack is weak but non-offensive, finishes nice with malts and a pleasing bitterness.

Bottle. Orangey yellow body with a small white head. Odd fruity grainy aroma. Watery flavour, dilute fruity washed out grains. Average to thin palate. Pretty disappointing.
