Description

Gordon Biersch Zwickel Bock

This special unfiltered Hellerbock (Blonde Bock) was made by tapping directly into an aging tank of Blonde Bock via the Zwickel (German for “sample valve”). This unfiltered version is extraordinary fresh and smooth creating a drinking experience previously only available at the brewery.

Beer Advocate Tasting Note 
The taste begins with a smooth bready and somewhat sweeter taste with some flavors of lighter fruits and a bit of honey. The lighter fruits are heaviest of orange, but contain other tastes of pear and apricot as well. As the taste advances, some of the wheaty and grainy flavors begin coming to the tongue along with a little bit of a yeasty taste. As the taste advances even further toward the end, some of the grass, hay and lemon that were in the nose come to the tongue as well, with the flavors in the end, unlike the nose, leaving a smooth, somewhat sweet, wheaty and fruity flavor to linger on the tongue. look: 3.75 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

Rate Beer Tasting Note 
750ml swingtop from Costco. Nose is malty and sweet with hints of banana, bubblegum, and floral. Very lightly hazy gold with a medium offwhite head. Flavor is lightly sweet, fruity, and a hint of bitter. Pretty decent take on a heller bock. Consumed alongside an Aventinus for my reference to good bock beers. 3.7   AROMA 7/10   APPEARANCE 4/5   TASTE 8/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 15/20
