Euro-Fläschla ( big thanks to MoritzF!): Golden, clear, smaller persistent white head; papery grainy-strawy nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, not so soft; slightly lingering sweetish papery and pale-malty finish, with a very slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Not the best franconian sample of this style...

Bottle, many thanks MoritzF! Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is honey, grassy hops, some melon. Taste is honey, cereals, melon. A tiny touch of phenols in the back, slightly warming finish. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. A nice Heller Bock, much cleaner than expected from reading some older reviews.

Bottle. Clear golden, low detergent foam head. Hayish malt, light honeycake aroma. Medium full, chewy body, clear grainy and hayish malt, light spice and acid, a bit chalk, good grassy hop counterpoint which cuts well through the breadiness, not super exiting but mostly clean and moreish.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond and medium-sized foamy head. Slightly strawy and delicately honey-ish malty aroma with hints of butter, grainy spots and flowery hops in the background. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Mildly sweet malty and delicately buttery taste with notes of cereals, straw and honey, backed by mildly flowery hops, getting a tad spicy towards the moderately sweet and mildly hop bitter finish. Likeable pale Bock. 11.XII.17

Flasche von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin. - Orangegelb, klar, kaum Schaum. In der Nase honigsüßes Malz und eine deutliche buttrige Note. Im Antrunk dominiert sämige Malzsüße, dazu schwache Fruchtigkeit (Apfel), fehltönige Aromen, bald abgelöst von einer wuchtigen Bittere. Schwach rezent. Wuchtiger Abgang mit viel Bitterhopfen, leichter Pfefferminznote, viel Buttersäure; enorm langer, dumpf-bitterer, etwas ranziger Nachtrunk. - Recht grobschlächtiger heller Bock mit viel Hopfenbittere; kein großer Genuß. Das Beste daran ist das klassisch schöne Etikett mit dem blauen Greif auf gelbem Grund.
