Heller Hound Bock Beer
New Flying Dog bier, suggested by VENOM to me. Has a medium-golden tinge, is clear throughout, and is crowned by a creamy, white head which shrinks to a thin, fine layer. Lacing is decent as well. Nose is a touch understated yet displays some toasty, bready malt with a hint of hops. Body was bordering on medium, and it had a fairly smooth feel on the tongue, albeit with a touch of foamy carbonation. Taste had some bready malt, as in the aroma, with a pleasing amount of sweetness. This leads into a light, floral hoppiness suggesting light fruits that lingers well yet also has a smidge of bitterness hanging around. Fairly good, though coming on the heels of some tasty Smutty I had last night, it'll have to take a back seat to it (and others). Prosit!! overall: 3.85 appearance: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | mouthfeel: 4 | drinkability: 3.5 714
