Golden in color, richly flavored with Munich malt, with a crisp and clean finish. Slight alcohol warming is present. A traditional Bavarian-style Bockbier as is often served during the transition seasons.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: copper/amber color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: semi-dark fruity with some caramel tones and clean bready malts; light honey and biscuity character with a little bit of clean earthiness; super light graham cracker-ish far down under
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to malty sweet to dark fruity sweet character; finishes crisp with a light bit of bready alcohol note
Texture: medium bodied, very sessionable; great smoothness and nothing distracting anywhere; good level of carbonation
Overall: a very nicely done Heller bock I'm sure to enjoy again.

(Can, 0.473l, thanks Arde, at VastActiv, 20240802) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had honey, malts and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A pleasant and balanced malty brew.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear gold with orange highlights and full 1.5 fingers of foam that lingers. Bready malt aromas with honeyed bread and mineral notes on the nose. More honeyed bread on the palate with a nice sweet note but then leans dry with a hoppy, herbal note and some minerality on the finish. Very enjoyable.

Canned 4/22/21, drunk 7/13/21.
Mountains of white head are well-retained atop a clear, well-carbonated, bright copper body.
Lovely raisin and caramel shows softer malt tones and I like that as opposed to a toastier rendition. Red fruits and a pinch of roast/toast on the end add balance to the sweet malts and there's no alcohol or flaw noted.
Tons of rich malt adding honey, caramel, bread dough and graham cracker. Raisin, strawberry and various other red fruits add acidity, with light toasted malt helping, as well. Ultra-soft, almost creamy texture with light carbonation. Seems massively malty for its size and still exhibits good attenuation. More and more acidity as it warms, as opposed to getting too sweet, which is a pleasant surprise.

16 oz. can. Clear copper appearance with a dissipating white head. Aroma of caramel malt, light noble hops, light toffee and mild spicy finish. Similar flavor, adding mild to moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body with a crisp texture. Yet again another fine German lager from this brewery.
