Commercial Description:
Helles Bock is a bright, clear golden interpretation of a classic bock beer (see Sly Fox Slacker Bock). Made with all German Pils malt, this is the perfect expression and experience of that great malt you'll ever find in a glass.

tap at ginger man nyc. I dont know what it is about bocks, I never like them that much. This one here is very german though, very floral, not over excessive, reminds me a lot of Einbecker. Good but I´m finding the style a bit boring

Tap at Ginger Man. Very pale straw colour. Creamy white head. The aroma is fresh and clean with little more than the base malt apparent. Light grainy flavour with a kiss of floral hops. It’s a bit cidery tasting too, which I don’t really enjoy. Pretty boring really... they can definitely do better.

July 2005 - Reading the reviews above mine, I’m wondering if they poured the wrong beer into my sampler glass. Poured clearish yellow...certainly not the bronze/gold described above...looked and tasted similar to the Helles Lager. Seemed to be lacking the typical bock flavor. It was grassy/haylike in flavor. Good but definitely not great.

2006 version on draft @ Phoenixville. Light golden color. Light, grainy aroma with some hints of apple. Grainy flavor, somewhat pils-ish. Crisp & clean with a nice hop bite. Nice Hellerbock!

Draught): Aroma of floral hops and Pils malts. Poured a medium golden color with a big, foamy, white head that lasted throughout. Flavor was medium bitter but not sweet at all. Taste was a little bit caramel malty, hops with a hint of fruit. Very nice flavor. Light body. Average carbonation. Fresh. Refreshing. Crisp. Medium bitter, lightly malty-sweet finish. Overall, a nice summer beer.

Pour was a clean earthy gold color with a white head. Grainy nose with some malts and mild barn. Sweet toasted malt flavors with some citrus, sugar cookie, and subtle grass. Not bad.
