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.

On tap at the Phoenixville location for the 2006 Goat Races. Pours a translucent golden with an average foamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma of grains, sweet maltiness, ice tea and some citrus. Flavor of grains, malts, lightly hopped, cereal with a slight bitterness.

Bronze color with a small, off white head that left lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and grassy mal. More caramel malt, grassy hops, very fruity, with a bitter citrus finish. Light alcohol was noticed as well.

at the goat races, looks clear and golden in the glass with very little amounts of white head. sweet grassy aroma and a very high hop profile, i thought a little too much for a bock, a little late malt sweetness, but very little. a medium body made this a "different" bock than what i was used to.

At the goat Races....Arrived golden, clear, no head whatsoever. I suspect sanitiser or detergent on the glass, for head can be genterated with violent stirring, or pouring into a rinsed glass. Very poor as far as presentation goes by the brewpub. Aroma is malty and clean, maybe a touch of fruityness. Flavor is malty with a slight touch of hops. Very dry on the palate. Perhaps slightly ale-like. But not sure if it is the improperly rinsed glass or not. My main complaint about how this was made is the dry character and the lack of malt depth.

Recommended by egajdzis this one was pretty darn good. A golden appearance with a large head. A strong lemon and hay presence in the flavor. Somewhat sweet taste as well. The alcohol is present in the aftertaste. Woohoo!

Pours deep gold with big white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, hopcit. Tastes hoppy, with citrus and some floral and fruit elements. Layers of complexity in this. Bravo.

I was very impressed with this beer, very excellent, very drinkable, great session beer, golden color, great white head, very little lacing though, sweet aroma with notes of malt, honey & caramel, full-bodied, flavors of honey, lemon, bready malt & a nice touch of earthy hops, very well-balanced, very crisp & clean, aftertaste included more honey along with sweet malt & grassy notes, very excellent bock
