€-Flascherl: Golden, unclear, medium-sized and slowly collapsing white head, moderate bitter-sweet aroma of herbal-leafy hops with a illusion of pale-malt underneath; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, no doubt; slightly lingering herbal-hoppy and pale-malty finish. Quite nice Heller Bock...
