3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - JAN 7, 2008
06/01 0.5 l bottle from Spar in Semriach. My first heller bock, finally. Poured clear pale yellow body with small head. Sweet malty aroma manifesting as honey and flowers. Some faint hops here, too. Quite weak, but very pleasant. Very interesting flavor, sweetish malts again, but made in the very pleasant way. Tasty, full bodied, with no traces of alcohol, the same in finish, this was very good thing for me, despite actually being very simple.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Marko (2977) - Split, CROATIA - JAN 7, 2008
0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy, who brought it from Austria (thanks!) Poured a clear golden body with a medium sized thick white head. Weak but nice malty nose, a touch oily. The taste is nicely malty as well. Some all too ordinary but passable hoppy bitterness, some yeastiness and grain. Hoppy finish and aftertaste. Alcohol extremely well hidden. Not flashy, but a pleasant Austrian heller bock.

"good, better, a real gösser" - well that rhymes not quite good in english. but the german " gut, besser, ein echtes gösser" does not much better...
gold-orange colour, small head. sweet smell, sweet beginning. later it gets more and more hopsy but keeps malty aromes.
