3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled, 2005 vintage. Poured medium-brighter golden with a dusting and a ring of white head. The aroma picked up chewy bready malts and a pinch of honey with grassy and herbal accents.. semi-sweet overall with bright highlights, showing only slight age. The flavor had dry caramel supporting honey and lesser bready malts at the core with alcohol-spiked herbal bitterness around.. finished spicy and warm. Medium-bodied and very dry on the palate.. a bit grainy.. OK flow across the palate. This had nothing particularly excellent in it, but it was easy to drink.

Appearance: Thick ,hazed amber brew.
Nose: Malty , fruity rich nose . Sweetness popping trough , grainy ending.
Flavor/Palate : Medium full bodied. Soft textured thanks for being unfiltered. Caramel malty brew that well covered dry alcohol. Not overly complex but with traditional feel. Tasty with late alcohol burn.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 18, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Obvious but simple cereal notes resound over faint herbal hoppiness in this clean and approachable Heller Bock.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the pale blond.
-This is a competent introduction to the style for the masses.
-There is some hop bitterness in the back, but it is rather discreet.
-The mouthfeel is lean and well carbonated.
-Although it’s well crafted, it does get boring after a while.
