The name for this pays homage to the mythical goat Heidrun, a renown figure who stood atop Valhalla, the hall of Germanic God Odin. The style, Bock, also takes its roots from Germany where it was first brewed in the city of Einbeck. The term ‘ein-beck’ was pronounced ‘ein-bock’ in Bavaria, which popularly translates as ‘Billy Goat’ hence inspiring the commonly used symbolism of bock beers.

440ml can from Honest Brew. Clear mahogany with off-white to tanned small creamy head looking head which dissipates quickly. Aroma of caramel, raisins, sweet malts, floral and grassy hops. Taste is sweet, malty, caramel, earthy, but there is a rather funky to metallic off-note in the finish which I found unpleasant. Medium body, soft to zingy carbonation. Apart from the finish I liked the beer so is a shame.
