Bottle (donated by the brewery): Almost pale golden with a smaller persistent white foam; honey, sweet-malt and bisquits in the aroma, a faint tinge of alcohol detectable as well; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; mainly bisquits in the finish, shy bittering hops in the aftertaste. A brave Heller Bock, a bit too uniform to be really excellent...........

bottle, bought at the brewery. Clear deep golden colour, small white head. Malty nose that reminds me of Czech lagers. Medium-bodied, pleasantly malty, again with a Bohemian character, hints of caramel, marzipane and shy hints of vegetables.

(33cl bottle) Clear, golden colour with a short foamy layer. Moderately sweet, slightly perfumed malty, soft grainy nose with notes of honey. Medium sweet flavour, medium bodied, quite flat carbonation. Strawy malty, slightly chalky taste with a whiff of honey in the background; moderately sweet malty finish with a touch of marzipan and a dull bitter hoppy blend. Not very convincing.
