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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
