Bottle, thx to Ole_R. A golden, clear beer with an off-white head. Malty nose, a bit like beef-stock, with toffee, fruit and a bready touch. Nice malty flavor with beefstock being quite evident. Quite bitter, almost astringent, finishing on the malty side. Sure not the typical pale bock, but quite lovely. (080410)

Aug 1, 2008 Bottle. Orange amber, low tanned head. Fat fruity nose. Fruity, fatty malt base with a fn herbal hop counterpoint, ends on a spicy note. ily full body, grassy retronasal.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. Rather sweet and warming beer, there’s also hints of root vegatables which I don’t find that pleasant, even though it doesn’t screw this beer up totally and it’s definitely drinkable. I prefer the Majbock from Grebbestad though.

Jun 15, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Clear amber golden with an off-white head and a beige head. Solid maltiness in the nose. Fairly good body with some rather odd ashy accents and a very bitter finish. Not bad but very atypical for a Heller Bock. 160408

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. A amber beer with a off-white head. The aroma and taste is of caramel, corn, hops and some alcohol. Medium to full body with a light bitter dry finish.

Jun 5, 2008 330ml bottle (Olutkellari, Helsinki)
Deep orange, tiny head. Grainy and nutty aroma, Anna thought peanuts, I didn’t. Slightly gingery hops too. Sharp lively palate, also creamy. Smooth sweet gingery-cake maltiness. Pleasant well-balanced hops. Some peanut taste later, so Anna was right about that earlier. Very solid smooth brew, full of flavour and character.
