Baumgartner Bock

Tap to rate

Heller Bock at 7.0% in dark yellow with delicate orange tones, brilliantly clear. The nose is fresh, slightly sweetish, with fine malt aromas; the taste is spicy and rich, a fine blend of honey aromas and hop tones with a pronounced bitterness and little residual sweetness. Strong, round and full-bodied in the mouth, light and slim in body, it ends very round with echoes of honey. It ushers in the quietest time of the year.
