JosephsBrau Heller Bock - Video Beer Review #363

For this review, I decided to take a look at the Heller Bock from Trader Joe's Josephsbrau brewing. This 7% ABV Helles Bock lager is a nice smooth ride as a golden lager.

It pours as a nice dark amber ale with a nice off white head. It's aroma is much like a floral bouquet with hints of breadiness, and it's flavor is has a good burst that provides a nice average to long duration. But be aware, as this one does provide a slight spice kick and some earthiness, which for me, was welcomed for sure.

Overall, this beer that one would think would be a full body beer, plays more like one of a medium body. It's definitely worth a try with it's nice dry texture and good carbonation.

Overall: 3.75 out of 5
