Bottle @ Pivni Rozmanitost, Prague. Pours clear orange with a creamy white head and lacings. Raw fruit, grain, orange, hay and a bit of alcohol. Medium bodied.

500ml bottle from Utobeer. Hazy gold with a few floaters and a thin lasting white head. Bready cereally aroma. Yes typically bocky but not overly sweet certainly a big whack of cereal flavour. And a little sickly. It’s ok. Golden syrupy quite dry some sweetness. Some hop on end. It’s pretty good. A bit of potato crisp. Yes, weird but interesting and bocky but dry and pretty good. Especially the plain crisps flavour. Odd.

Bottle. Golden color. Bready aroma with peach and toffee. Malty sweet, bready flavor with toffee and grassy notes. Somewhat sticky.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2012 Bottle: Deep golden, clear, small and stable off-white head, moderate to solid bisquity-buttery nose, distinctive herbal hops underneath; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied , soft; slightly lingering, nourishing sweet-bitter finish, a certain fruitiness - balancing the aromatic hops - is detectable as well. Very pleasant franconian session Bier...

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a grey-ish mid-sized foamy head. Sweet biscuity cara-malty aroma with herbal and slightly earth, woody hops. Moderately sweet flavour with a present bitterness, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Hearty and slightly biscuity cara-malt character with subtle fruity notes; sweet malty finish with a rounded and quite aromatic even though delicate spicy herbal hoppy touch. A very satisfying pale Bock. 17.XII.11

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear golden yellow, large and creamy white head. Intensive malt flavours with nice herbal-resiny hops. Smooth palate, perfectly balanced beer.

Bottle. Orange amber, low eggshell lacing head. Malty, light dusty aroma. Nutty, malty base, understated but perceptible grassy hop balance. Chewy full body, mellow mouthfeel. Nourishing.

Bottle by 28.06.12. Nose of a classic Heller Bock twinged with booze. Clear dark golden body with lots of carb and a fizzy off-white head. Taste is sweet and fruity, malt-forward with nice lager character on the crisp medium-full body. A pretty flawless winner.
