Goldfinger Brewing Company Heller Bock
What the brewers say
“A strong pale lager full of rich malt flavor balanced by fresh German hops.”
What our panel thought
“Floral and lightly soapy hop notes with some light cracker and white-brioche malt notes. Balance between the light malt sweetness and the floral Noble hop bitterness is well done and well balanced. The bitterness takes over into the clean, crisp finish, inviting the next sip. Medium carbonation, medium full body.”
What our editors thought
“Noble hop nose with bits of honey and sweet floral blossoms in the aroma—unapologetically aromatic. Tighter in the sip, as the sweeter malt character is rigidly boxed inside the floral and herbal hops, metering its more luxurious notes in a drinkable but pleasurable rhythm.”
