A decent festbier, the grain forwardness is awesome, just the noble hop bitterness is harsh. beerfest dresden

0,5 l swing top bottle from a local Hol´Ab! market. Looks good with a clear copper and an huge and steady three finger frothy pale beige head. Smells low malty. Taste starts also malty, increasing grainy and alcoholic metallic. Getting a more dry bitterness in the second part. Little bit scratchy, some roasted malt, some sweetness. Lacks of aroma like so much other Helle Bocks.

0.5 l bottle from local 'Getränke Hoffmann', best before February 2020. Clear, deep amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly malty and a bit floral aroma of honey, caramel and some grains. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly floral taste of caramel, grains and some honey, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally grassy finish. Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Solid Bock, not overly deep but quite quaffable and very clean.
