Jul 19, 2008 Golden amber pour with a tiny head that lasts only seconds. Carbonation doesn’t last any longer. Aroma is sweet floral fruit. Candy sugar flavor with some fruit and alcohol. Too sweet, and I like a sweeter beer. Perhaps this is a better cool weather beer. Surprised that it is rated at 3.3 and not lower.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottled. Deep yellow colour, thick white head. Semlls bready, alcohol. Taste ok, but seriously: too much alcohol in this one.

Mar 13, 2008 500ml bottle from trade with Koelschtrinker - thanks!
Orange, thin head. Slightly lagery bocky aroma. Slightly alcoholic and artificial plasticky taste. Fairly resiny bitter - sticky and more like hop extract than whole hops. Not tasty enough to be a sipper, but not very quaffable either due to the alcohol.
DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
Mar 10, 2008 Bottle from State Line. Pours turbid dark straw/orangy with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is pale malt, citrus, honey, mild vegetals. Tastes of pale malt, honey, hops, and some tannins. Not a repeater for me.

Dec 15, 2007 330ml green bottle from Meinl am Graben, Wien. Poured a fast fading white head. Clear golden body colour. Sweet fruity nose. Flavoured with pears, light hops and a touch of sweet malts. Hidden alcohol. Roundd mouthfeel and rather well bodied (03.12.2007).

Dec 7, 2007 I enjoyed this beer, as it offered an array of flavors and melded well to offer a great complexity. It is fuller bodied, but stays refreshing, and is well rounded in character. The slight alcohol burn is hardly noticable, and actually offers a nice element to this well done heller bock. I wish it were slightly more hoppy, as it is noble...to say the least

Nov 25, 2007 Pours dark golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of sticky malt, sweet graininess,
Taste is sweet malt, doughy bread, light caramel and honey with harsh graininess. Mouthfeel is full bodied, slightly sticky with moderate carbonation. A bit too sweet and sticky for my liking.

Sep 23, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel,and earthy hops. Flavor is medium bodied with light malt sweetness, caramel, fruit, and a hint of some spices with a clean finish. A decent brew
