Nov 26, 2007 Richmond "industry" gathering. Hoppy aroma of earth and floral notes. Caramel malt flavors and an intensely bitter floral hop note in the flavor that strays way outside of a typical bock. Nice, different, but I rather enjoyed it.

Jan 26, 2009 hazy coppery amber pour capped by a wispy, soapy and long lasting sandy white head. an enormous amount of ring like lacing is left behind after this eventually works it’s way down.
a gush of flowery hops hits the nose before aromas of caramel, grain/grainy sweetness, slightly oily resinous pine, orange and a hint of booze.
the flavor is again, a rush of floral hops. there’s a malty base but for the most part it’s intensely dry on the palate. caramel/toffee, pine, spice, orange and some vaporous burn make up the rest of the flavor profile. there’s a bitterness on the back teeth before a very clean finish.
the medium body gets fat and creamy at times until hoppy dryness shows up to the party to keep it in check.
i’m not sure this is a helles bock... seems more like a fine ipa. anything resembling a bock is cloaked in a huge dose of flowery hops. but i don’t really care since it tastes good and is terribly easy to drink...7/4/8/4/15/3.8

Feb 2, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a copper color with a thick white head and lasting lace. Aroma is primarily grapefruit (hops) with a sweet malty background. Flavor is pretty much the same with hop bitterness and malty sweetness battling it out. In the long run, the hops win.
