(draft) Clear amber with off-white head. Aroma is mild sweet, some grassy. Taste is sweet, carame, grassy, finishing with alcohol that is slightly astringent. Medium full body. Is this beer actually under 6% ABV?

Bottle courtesy of kp: Pours a transparent copper amber with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet, lightly toasted caramely malt and some noble hops. Body starts with a nice mild sweetness and earthy bittering hop balance before a crisp, smooth fairly full finish. An authentic and drinkable heller bock.

Draft at Mcgregors in Cary. Copper pour with aroma of fruit, malt, hopcit, slight acetic acid. Tastes rich, complex, fruity and bocky. Great complexity, yet a tad thin at the finish. Still, this one is fabulous.

From a bottle dated 3/21 purchased at the brewery; also sampled on draft at the brewry and loved it. Bright but earthy orange in color, the head succombs quickly. Rich malty aroma. For a relatively light-colored beer, this has a robust and full-bodied character without being overbearing in any way ... lightly malty, with just a twinge of sugary-alcoholic aftertaste. Another underrated beauty. (#2837, 5/4/2007)
