Golden brown color with a small but serviceable froth and rumblings of some malt are immediately apparent. Crisp and malty mouthfeel give way to a distinct but not overpowering aftertaste which is more smooth than most bock beers. An odd frankensteining mix of IPA and bock. A good beer given to me by a dear friend for a great occasion...cheers!

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a orange-amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is very malty. Taste is malty, some hops, and maybe some dark fruits. New to this style, but it is pretty tasty.

Oct 7, 2008 Tasted 10/07/08. 22oz bomber. Filtered with a golden amber hue. Finger width of off-white head. Cereal bready aromas with a touch cinnamon and spicy hops. Medium bodied with a crisp effervescence and nicely bitter hops. Nice sweet bitter dichotomy. Rather zesty. smooth malts and spicy Saaz hops. Solid drinking. Caramel malts shine as the beer warms. This is a go to beer for easy Autumn drinking!

Oct 7, 2008 Bottled, China. Hazy murky brown, quick beige head. Slightly toffeeish nose with marzipan and old barnyard hay. Some berries. Flavor is citric, malty, bitter hops with some nuttiness. Pretty good, but far from heller bock as I know them. More like an IPA maybe, or just a strong ale. Decent mouthfeel with smooth carb.
