Rothaus Heller Bock
Heller Bock is a limited release in the Tannenzäpfle anniversary series and revives the pale Maibock that Rothaus once brewed each spring. It is made with pale barley malt, soft Black Forest water and a fine dose of Tettnang and Hallertau hops, and pours golden. The high original gravity of 16.3 °P gives a full, rounded body with a malt sweetness of honey, fresh bread and light toast, a gentle warmth from the alcohol and a floral, herbal hop note that keeps the sweetness in balance.
