Commercial Description:
Helles Bock is a bright, clear golden interpretation of a classic bock beer (see Sly Fox Slacker Bock). Made with all German Pils malt, this is the perfect expression and experience of that great malt you'll ever find in a glass.

I was very impressed with this beer, very excellent, very drinkable, great session beer, golden color, great white head, very little lacing though, sweet aroma with notes of malt, honey & caramel, full-bodied, flavors of honey, lemon, bready malt & a nice touch of earthy hops, very well-balanced, very crisp & clean, aftertaste included more honey along with sweet malt & grassy notes, very excellent bock

Pours deep gold with big white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hopcit. Tastes hoppy, with citrus and some floral and fruit elements. Layers of complexity in this. Bravo.

Poured a deep bronze color with a small, off white head that left very little lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and doughy malt, wintergreen. Biscuity taste, more caramel malt, grassy hops, very fruity, with a bitter citrus finish. Light alcohol was noticed as well.

From growler thanks to Egajdzis. Poured a medium golden color with a smaller off white head. Aromas of citrus and light caramle. Tastes of lemons, grass, and lightly spicy. Nice dry and clean finish.

Draught): Aroma of floral hops and Pils malts. Poured a medium golden color with a big, foamy, white head that lasted throughout. Flavor was medium bitter but not sweet at all. Taste was a little bit caramel malty, hops with a hint of fruit. Very nice flavor. Light body. Average carbonation. Fresh. Refreshing. Crisp. Medium bitter, lightly malty-sweet finish. Overall, a nice summer beer.
