500ml bottle. Opalescent, orange golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally starchy, pale malty and minimally yeasty fruity aroma, hints of honey, yellow apple, weak phenolic overtones. Taste is sweet-ish and minimally grainy, pale malty, minimally yeasty fruity, mildly bitter, slightly earthy, grassy, hoppy counterpart, hints of honey, leaves, even tobacco, a touch of red and yellow apple. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, minimally dry and minimally cloying palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation. A tad disharmonious, heterogeneous, not really well integrated hop flavours; at least not as starchy as many other helle Böcke - OK.

Brauerei Simon Bock hell, Flasche von Ambrosetti. - Satt goldgelb, blank. - In der Nase bocktypisch breites aber etwas mattes helles Malz, vage Hopfenherbe und leichte fuselige Züge. - Antrunk schwer hellmalzig und sirupartig süß mit schwerer bittersüßer Frucht und derber Malzbittere. Durchschnittlich rezent, vollmundig, nicht ganz kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang derb bitter. - Auch ein heller Bock, für meinen Geschmack aber zu rauh und unrund. Bestenfalls Durchschnitt.
