Style: Heller Bock
Gulpen, Netherlands

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

Bottle 30cl. Pours a clear golden colour with a good size head. Nice Bokbeer.

Bottle: White head on top of a clear dark yellow orange colored beer. Smell hops, glue, malts, herbs, grains and grass. Taste sweets, malts, caramel, hops, herbs, flowers and soap. Medium bitter aftertaste. Medium carbo, soft tingly mouthfeel, low medium body and a watery texture.

Small off-white head over fully metallic golden beer, caramel colour. Very honeyish in aroma, with caramel and maltsyrup. Lightstruck, oxydation, old caramel; dried but sweet malts. Bit metallic. Quite slick, slighty burning afterfeel. Bit tired and definitely lightstruck (bad shelfpreservation). Still, I get that this is not a bad blonde Bock.

For a lentebock this is dark in colour, almost amber. Plenty of fresh hop in the nose. Flavour has a good balance of sweet, soft caramel malt and dry, bitter hop.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive white foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear golden color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a fruity touch . This beer smells to fruity.
