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.
O.G. 15.5

Crazy bottle as usual. It hurts my soul. Very little hops. Minimal head. It does have a thick feeling in the mouth. Not a great beer, but nevertheless its ok. It is a different flavor. Odd. Random.

bdigital (637) - Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 26, 2007
Bottle: Pours a light amber color with small white head. Aroma of light malt, caramel and hay/grass. Interesting flavor that threw me off for a second. I’m not real sure how to describe it other than sweet and malty. Their is something that I can’t quite place though. Has a slightly bitter floral hop note throughout. Pretty good.

RSRIZZO (1679) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 24, 2007
Had this beer on 5/13/2004. Aroma is a rich sweet malty scent. Color is a deep clear gold with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is mildly malty. Starting with medium body it goes down with smooth feel and a malty flavor coming on. Finish comes in with a mild malt flavor and a smooth hop bitterness, this is backed by a very light spiciness. It seems to hit what they wanted it to be. This is a spring beer, but they call it an anti-spring and what better way to brew this then a light Bock. It’s a refreshing, bold and smooth beer that has the feel of spring.

12oz bottle-A golden body with a small white head and an aroma of malt, hops, and fruity pepples. Taste of malt, hops, sweetness, and a dry bitter finish. Not a bad beer but just not my style.

patrick767 (2836) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - AUG 20, 2007
bottle - Pours clear golden with a one finger, lingering head. The aroma is malts and some light citrus and yeast notes. The flavor is quite sweet as one would expect from a bock. I’m tasting a touch of alcohol. It’s a little watery and the hops show up just a bit in the finish. Not bad at all, but there are better bocks to be had. edit: oops, that was rating #900 and I wasn’t even paying attention.
