Rothaus Heller Bock

◎ Aussehen

Pours a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and evenly distributed, creating a refined visual presence that speaks to careful conditioning.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, honeyed malt sweetness underpinned by soft bread crust notes. Herbal and floral hop character emerges gently on the mid-palate, with Tettnang and Hallertau contributing delicate spice and a wisp of fresh hay without any aggressive green character.

◐ Geschmack

A full-bodied, well-rounded palate dominated by malt-forward character: honeyed grain, light toast, and bready warmth develop seamlessly from entry through mid-palate. The 20 IBU of noble hops provides precise counterbalance to the malt sweetness, finishing with a gentle herbal and floral dryness that keeps the beer crisp despite its strength.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and medium-length, with the malt sweetness gradually giving way to a subtle herbal dryness. A gentle warmth from the 7% ABV lingers pleasantly without harshness, leaving the palate refreshed.
