Draft, GBBF 2006. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with metallic notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and quite fruity notes - especially oranges, as well as metallic notes of alcohol. Not the best Bock I’ve had - too simple.

(On tap - Toronado) Clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head leaving laces. Clean, malty nose. Medium body with clean pale malts, some sweetness and a dry but not overly bitter finish. A very clean and classical Heller Bock. 250307

Golden coloured. Big hop aroma. Full bodied, clean maltiness. Very bitter finish. I liked it!

Bottled (thanks to either Degarth or Stoutlover72, I forgot whom I got this from...). I managed to break the neck of the bottle by mistake while digging in my beer cellar... Hazy orange golden colour with mediumsized white head, with some yeast still on the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is sweet malts, US flowery hops, some fresh oranges and slight alcoholic notes. Flavour is fruity and flowery hoppy, grassy, oranges and also some slightly yeasty notes also. Quite nectary and hopped aftertaste. I wouldn’t recognize this a pale bock if I had to try it as a "blind rating".

Golden colour with a light sparkle. Big, clean bready malt aroma. Full body, light toastiness and more big bready flavours. Long and very well-balanced. A rival to Hofbrauhaus Maibock.

On draught at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 02/08/2006 Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured pale and hoppy with a crisp and dry slightly nutty bitter finish.

Draught at GBBF 2006. Gold colour with thickish lasting off white head. Niceish creamy hop aroma. Bit of expected alcohol from a bock. It’s ok, but not the best of the SN range.
