courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - clear golden beer with a solid but chaotic white foam left; sticky maltiness in the nose with notes of caramel and corn; full-bodied, sweet and quite thick; moderate tart bitterness; quite dry malty finish with notes of caramel and warming alcohol

Malzig-süßer, getreidiger Duft. Antrunk süß-getreidig, weich. Mitte großzügig süß, beinahe ölig erscheinend. Rosiniger, alkoholischer Abgang, Schweres Bier, dennoch recht gut.

bottle. strongly sweet and resinous with crisp and snappy honey-drizzled biscuit malt, golden and sappy and awesome. low bitterness allows the sweet and crisp malt to shine. low acid, high sweet, medium full body and soft carbonation present this heller bock amazingly well. it’s sticky, sweet, smooth but slightly resinous. delicious nectar.

(bottle) pours a clear golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of floral hops, honey melon and mint, with a light hint of pale malts. flavour is mostly the same, very fruity, with a medium sweetness, a little too much alcohol and a slightly astringent bitter finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Bottled 500ml (BB 03/2012, BZ)
Golden color, small white head. Woody, grassy, honeyish sweet malty aroma. Medium-bodied. Malty, grassy hoppy, a bit fruity. Finish and aftertaste is quite alcoholic. Standard straightforward heller bock.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Biscuity and mildly grainy (cara-)malty aroma with herbal and slightly floral hoppy notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Delicately biscuity malty taste with present herbal hops drying-out the rounded malty and hoppy finish with a bearable alcoholic glimpse. Solid Franconian quality. 04.XII.11

Bottle, MHD 11.03.2012. Nose is sweet citric malt, edging on some powdery candy notes. Clear golden with a sudsy white head. Taste with herbal overtones with heavy noble hopping, super juicy with sunny malt. Dry finish with light bitterness and good Bockish alcohol showing. Beautiful floral notes, light white grape/white wine notes, and bucketloads of clover honey. Medium body is just super soft, truly exceptional in this regard. I’m obviously pretty pleased, but not easy to drink in large quantities.

Pours a clear and yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, yeast, fruit, sweetness and banana. The flavor follows the nose with additional notes of alcohol. The palate is sweetness with alcoholwarmth. Overall an average beer.

Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, fruit and light alcohol. Flavour is malt, alcohol,fruit and light grass.

Draught at their brewpub. White and litle small head. Sparkling and fine golden color. The aroma has a little old eart basement that dont appeal but the taste is fine with fine malts and a good bitterness. The beer is well fermented and has litle sweetness and a good body.
