Style: Heller Bock
Munich, Germany

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

Growler from Bierkraft: Pours a crisp golden with complete clarity, topped by a creamy, consistent but small head. Has a crisp carbonation in the mouthfeel. Aroma has crisp German malts, light banana esters, and a nice doughy element. Flavor is pretty similiar. Sweet malty body with a solid doughyness. Subtle bubblegum notes and glazed pastry qualities. The sweet maltyness is balanced by a late spicyness. The finish has a peppery dryness. A traditionally solid Maibock.

Draft. Dark golden yellow color with a sizable white head. Toasted malt aroma. Malty flavor with a surprising amount of fruity sweetness. A very enjoyable beer.

Just had on tap at Resi’s Bierstube in Chicago. Goodfor a maibock. Sweet and easy to drink, not overly complex. But that tends to go with the style. Seasonal so now is the time to get it on tap. Do a side-by-side with Hofbrau Maibock-- I would say the two are very comparable.

Pours with a gold color and frothy head. Sweet and malty with a slight bitter finish. Goes down smooth for an easy drink.

on tap at the Stundent Prince, spfld MA...they had the bock on tap but also in a soaked oak barrell....the oaked bock poured a cloudy light amber with minimal head..aromas hops and honey...very sweet for a bock...im a dark beer drinker but this had a suprising amount of body

Draft. Clear amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate nutty malt citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a balanced sweet bitter finish of moderate duration.

(05.06.06) On tap at Firkin’s, Libertyville, IL. .Poured clear golden yellow with giant long-lasting white head. No discernable carbonation. Sweet malt aroma. Light-to-medium bodied lager that starts dry with malt, nutty, and corn flavors. Finished with light malt fade and hop bitterness. Very malty with a style similar to the Czechvar pils lager rather than a maibock. Good and drinkable though.

"Poured a golden color with a nice fluffy head and left solid lacing. Aroma was very malty and yeasty. Flavor was much the same little bready. Solid beer. "
