2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 JFGrind (1715) - Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Citrus undertones in this Heller Bock. Medium bitterness, golden body with thin white head. Not as complex as expected, maybe a darker version would have been more satisfying.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Bacterial (410) - Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA - MAY 1, 2013
Light amber pour. Light white head, some lacing here. Malty nose and a big malty taste that has some subtle hops and bitterness to balance it out. Easy to drink and solid. Good, not great.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 arkurzynski (1189) - West Bend, Wisconsin, USA - APR 29, 2013
Deep orange/bronze color. Nose is toasty caramel malt and sugary toffee , somewhat syrupy, with moderate piney hops. Flavor is more of the caramel-type toasted malt with a decent dose of American pine hop bitterness. Hop finish with some lingering malt sweetness. A very Americanized version, yet fairly enjoyable. Clean profile overall.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of sweet bread and grains with a touch of cookie. Flavor is similar with sweet grains and cookie up front but more of a bread finish.

Bottle - Light amber with a light foamy white head. Nose is light honeyed bread with a touch of yeastiness and some subtle floral hops. Taste is about the same, with more bitterness and sharpness, with a mouth-coating yeastiness. Thin and bubbly with lots of sharp carbonation.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 djroehler (151) - Minnesota, USA - APR 10, 2013
Light golden with foamy white head. Yeast, honey, cloves, candied peaches in the aroma. Sweet and cereal malt, honey and lemon. Yeast and mixed candied fruits, pineapple, some tart and grassiness near the finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 Fredis23 (82) - Illinois, USA - APR 8, 2013
Light Yellow, Good Head, Some Lacing. A little thin, on watery side. Some Sweet Malt and light bitter aftertaste. While it may be fine and easy to drink, nothing stands out and is forgettable.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 lawman834 (171) - Georgia, USA - APR 8, 2013
Sampled at the Texas Craft Brew fest, my score is based off of some incoherent notes and a 2 oz sample.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 kdm1984 (433) - Missouri, USA - APR 1, 2013
Big yeast aroma with some earth. Tastes like wheat bread with a bit of lemon citrus. Especially like the aftertaste, where the aforementioned elements hit their best balance. Nice and refreshing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 EtTuCthulhu (374) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAR 23, 2013
The color of this beer is pure golden with a large white head that disappears at a medium pace, and the aroma is reminiscent of dough yeast. The taste is quite sour and slightly sweet, and the palate combines a medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation, and an astringent finish.
