COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cool days draw us close to the warmth of home fires. This is the season to sip away the chill and embrace quiet evenings with friends and family. You hold a Wisconsin Style Honey Bock, easy going and more approachable than its traditional dark German cousin. Bock beers have existed in Wisconsin for over 150 years. This pale bock is brewed with an exclusive blend of Wisconsin two row barley that balances seamlessly with our special European hops. Naturally sweet Clover Honey was added in the kettle accenting warm flavor notes on your tongue. Whether you reminisce the passing summer sun or thrill to squeaky steps through drifting snow one thing is certain about winter in Wisconsin, this too shall pass.

Honey lightly dominates this bock at every turn. It’s there ever so gently in the aroma and more noticeably at the finish. Otherwise, this is a a bit more of a traditional bock because the hops have little influence on the taste and the barley is much more noticeable. But now I sound like a beer nerd. Shame on me.

Pours golden with a finger of slowly dissipating foam. sweet notes of grape in the aroma. has a nice little tart apple and grape feel to it that fades to a soft bitter finish. Not what I expected but pretty good

Bright golden with a few streams of bubbles. Fluffy, small white head, lasting. Aroma is sweet, honey, hay, pale malt. Lighter medium body. Sweet, super smooth. Flavor matches aroma. Chuggable. Surprised and impressed.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear gold with a nice white head. Aroma of malt, grain, and grass. Taste is malt, grain, grass, and a bit of lemon. Not your typical bock. Very nice.

Aroma is pale malts, mild grain/honey sweetness and beery. The flavor is pale malts, a mix of mild sweetness and bitterness and a beery finish.

Poured into a standard pint glass. Nice 2 finger head, reduces to a ring of carbonation and some residual dextrin on the surface. Some residual lacing left after the head disappeared. Once in the glass, crystal clear, and light. Smells strongly of malt and honey, and some slight grassy hoppy notes. Tastes strongly of malt, with a perfect bit of honey. Sweet. I don’t know very much about heller bock, but the dextriny mouthfeel was a pleasant surprise (based purely on the visual). Solid.
