22 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 2/18/2015. Pours slightly hazy bright golden color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big lightly tart/juicy strawberry, cracker, bread, honey, herbal, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Awesome aromas with great balance of strawberry, pale malt, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of lightly tart/juicy strawberry, wheat, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Moderate herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of strawberry, wheat, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of strawberry, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Extremely clean flavors as well. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly syrupy mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible fruited Helles bock! All around awesome balance and robustness of strawberry, pale malt, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink for the ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.
