COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Early German monks created “bock” beer as a hearty beverage that would help sustain them during their Lenten fasts. The first bock beers were dark, but soon came “blonder” styles such as maibock. Maibocks have a rich, malty, full flavor. And, since our first brewhouse was from Heimertingen in Bavaria, we’ve honored that heritage by giving the name to our first lager beer.“Bock,” by the way, is German for “male goat.” It doesn’t make sense to us either.

Tasted at Food and Froth. Not bad, really. Decent entry for a Heller Bock.

SHANER4 (427) - Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 5, 2008
12 oz. bottle...Poured a clear golden orange color with very little head and hardly any carbonation. Nose is grassy and also malty. Taste is boring and did not care for this brew at all. A slight metallic taste, reminded me of a Miller product.

12 oz. bottle, poured in "straight" lager mug. Lively brown color under a rocky head. Nice, warming malt smell. Lightly sweet Vienna and caramel malt taste, well balanced by a sharp, slightly peppery German hop note. What can I say, I liked it.

Well made but to be honest, this was a very forgettable blond bock. Malty and earthy, yes. but unexciting.

Poured a clear golden color with a small white head. Malty and earthy hop aroma. The flavor was malty with some sweetness and a hoppy finish.
