100ml draught at Hopfen+Malz. Almost clear golden body, remaining white head that laced quite well. Mid-sweet grainy malts on the nose, inviting. Mixed taste of slightly spiced ripe fruits and bread-like malts. Malt-driven ending, semi-sweet. Well bodied. Pretty decent. (Aachen, 26.02.2026).

Bottle courtesy of Jonas and Ursula, cheers guys. Had this Friday 13th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to Natural Magic - II . Jonas is cooking Pasta Carbonara. Pours clear light gold with a fast disappearing white head, wow super smooth. super drinkabilty, this is a very dangerous heller bock. Lovely in the mouth, wonderful sweet maltiness, honey like flavours, abv is completely hidden.

Bottle. Clear deep golden. Butter, apple, cream. Full, crunchy, light and soft. Very light, creamy, nice. Would love to have this from tap, but still quite nice.

Almost clear pale golden body, off-white head, not the biggest but some trace of it persists. Lean, light floral, honeyish, citric aroma. Lean, light, soft taste, low citrus and honey notes, light alcohol. Quite clean, far leaner than expected, bit drier in the finish, and the mild touch of alcohol is brought forward by the subtlety of the other flavors, but this is much better this time and glad I've rerated it!

0.5l bottle, thanks Fil or Ryan! Clear golden body, off-white head. Buttery aroma, malty, bit spicy, okay. Lean, dry taste, sweet, some meaty yeastiness. Oof, not in the best of shapes, to be rerated. 8/4/4/6/4.5

Rerate from bottle again. Its great, bumped it. Bottle from Landbierparadies. Clear golden to amber, lowish offwhite head. Restrained, light grainy nose. Medium full chewy body, fine sparles. Dry grain, spicy honey, good peppery and herbal hop counterpoint which carries the aftertaste. Geared towards strong, dry and easy drinkable.
