Commercial Description:
The original Stieglbock is a powerful finely hopped and traditional Bockbier – the Berman term for strong beer – indicating a bottom-fermenting brew from barley malt. Brewed in August, the fermentation process lasts three months which produces a golden color beer with taste and strengths varying from year to year. This beer is perfect for beer lovers who prefer bold types of beer. 16.5 Plato

It is orange golden with a small, white and creamy head. The aroma has a light sweetness and notes of malt, caramel, citrus, and it is pretty inviting. The flavour has sweetness and notes of fruit, malt, caramel citrus and a dry finish. It is smooth and pleasant and it hides the alcohol well.

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.

Bottle.

My bottle, purchased fresh just before Christmas 2004, looked like the regular Stiegl bottle and read "Stiegl Columbus Original Bock." The abv was the same. It pours a golden color with a slight head that soon haloes the glass. It’s got a mild sweet malt aroma. Medium-bodied with caramel malt flavoring, it has a nice snappy hop counterbalance. Not a bad drink, but really not what I think of when I hear "bock."
