Berliner Kindl Bock Hell

Brewed by Berliner Kindl Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Heller Bock
Berlin, Germany

Bottle from a Berlin supermarket. Dark gold, fine carbonation. A bit sweet, full body, but rather one dimensional. Perfectly OK, but there is no hop signature here. Warming alcohol finish.

Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma i sweet, fruit, malt. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, apple, fruit, malt. OK beer, but nothing more.

Bottle. It pours a nice, clear golden body, topped by a white to off-white head. Pleasant fruityness blending in with a malty aroma, but as most heller bocks, it is a bit boring. Sweet and fruity flavor with some faint banana, not as grainy as some heller bocks. Medium body, would like it chewier. Well, I’m not overly fond of the pale ones, I prefer the darker, heavier ones, but this one is a decent specimen. (080314)

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet and dominated by malt.

Bottle at ØLbaren (Thanks to Lars). Clear yellow - white head. Sweetness, honey, corn, syrup, light straw & hay. Too much sweetness.

Bottle. [Courtesy of nicolascage, session @ Ølbaren] Large thick bubbly head that mostly lasted. Clear flat looking body with a golden color. Spare lacework. Aroma of grain, bread, dusty notes, hay and light grassy notes as well. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Balanced light bitter and sweet flavor. Dry and bitter grassy finish. 18-09-2007, Thanks Lars!

Bottle. A golden beer with a big white head. The aroma is of caramel malt, and hay, the taste is sweet caramel, hay and alcohol. Medium body with a sweet finish.
