Tap at St Michael, Oulu. Color is clear light orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Grain, sweetness, some hay and malts. Malty grainy sweet bock. Too sweet and honeyish for me.

(Keg at Pikkulintu, 20180421) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, honey and lightly malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. A pleasant hoppy heller bock.

Samples in Munich with Claude and Stefan, cheers. Clear golden color white head. Cereal aroma. Taste is lightly hoppy cereal.

500ml bottle @ hotel room, Munich. Smooth, sweetish and slightly earthy heller bock with hints of grass and hay, hints of warming alcohol. Decent.

500ml bottle. Pours dark gold with a large head. Aroma is grassy, minerally and alcohol. Taste is sweet to start. Minerals on the finish.

„Andechser Bergbock hell“, 6,9 %, Flasche (50 cl) von Grabsch, Berlin-Lichterfelde. - Satt goldgelb, blank. - Etwas neutrale Nase mit mattem Malz, sehr matter Zitrone, ein wenig Sprit. - Antrunk breit aber aromatisch schmalspurig hellmalzig-süß, abgeschmeckt mit zarter Säure. Zarte zitronige Note, Anklänge an weiße Weintrauben. Mild rezent, leicht spritig. Im Abgang milde fruchtig-kräuterige Hopfenherbe. - Trinkbarer aber wenig komplexer heller Bock. Es gibt weit bessere.

At the source, 16/07/17. Clear golden with a well appointed off white head. Nose is caramel, sweet notes, grains, light honeysuckle, grass. Taste comprises sweet malts, toasted popcorn, hint of vanilla, straw, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boozy tickle. Decent enough offering ... doesn’t deliver too much depth for the ABV but an easy drinker.

Draught at Deep Ellum, 5/5/17.
Clear, bright golden-beeswax with a medium-sized white head showing moderate retention.
Rich malt notes in the nose range from well-extracted honey via Pils malt, while stronger notes of freshly baked baguette and very light sourdough notes add more layers and richness to the malty nose. Not a complete one-sided malt bomb, however, as peppery and herbal hop notes, light but fragrant for what they are, help restore some balance. There is some of the mineral, almost wine-like house character I’ve noted in their other beers and it does contribute some "dryness", as well, helping to further offset the malt; but this certainly remains a malt-dominated beer, as it should. No alcohol or flaw.
Rich honey and sweet bread in the mouth with low but fairly engaging carbonation helps to disperse the sweetness somewhat. Light bitterness from the hops with floral and herbal notes that work well against the pale malts. Light plaster and other mineral notes with gentle acidity on the finish (not hop-driven, most likely toasted malts). It’s malty, sweet and rich, but still has enough balance to keep it from seeming cloying or overly sugary, I think. Maybe not quite the finesse and elegance of some of their other beers, but it doesn’t have the dark malts that the doppelbock has to dry it out as much, so I think inherently suffers a bit. I sadly haven’t had very many true heller bocks, so my critique is quite uninformed. But for a malty beer, I quite enjoyed it.
