Step Mash.
This heller bock features the freshest German hops: Tradition, Hersbrucker, Mittelfruh, and Saphir. The result is a pleasant malt sweetness at the forefront, supported by a fresh hop aroma that balances floral, fruit, and herbal hop qualities. It exemplifies the regenerative power of springtime nature.

Draft at Goldfinger. Kind of a hazy gold pour and a thin, lacy head. Smell carries up some malt and a bit of flowers. Pilsner-ish malts on the tongue. Thick mouthfeel of a higher alcohol drink, but without any alcohol burn. Looks like the haze and taste comes from some yeast still in the beer.

16oz can. Sort of an odd example of the style, not really nailing it which is surprising for Goldfinger. Sort of pear-like odd aroma. Hops are a little muted for the style. Just has some flavors that don't seem appropriate, strange malt tone. Disappointing.
