omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 2, 2008 Bottled. Clear amber, breif head. Aroma of salty raspberries. Dry and densely malty. Medium bodied and intensely salty, somewhat resiny with some caramelly malt. More focus on resiny hops than on malt. Some strawberry esters in a long bitter finish. Not really what I expected, but I quite like it. Papsoe (10359), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 15, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Clear amber golden with an off-white head and a beige head. Solid maltiness in the nose. Fairly good body with some rather odd ashy accents and a very bitter finish. Not bad but very atypical for a Heller Bock. 160408 yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Apr 17, 2008 33 cL clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light hoppy spiced aroma. Flavour is medium sweet malty with a light hoppy bitterness and light spiced. Goes into a light spiced finish. joergen (6529), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 17, 2008 Bottle.
