    I simply noticed today that we don't have helles bock as a category. In my opinion helles bock is lighter than a traditional bock, and actually quite common. Thoughts?

    I can agree with that, sure, but I think it should be labeled as Bock - Helles / Maibock. I know we're in the US where the Maibock label might be used more often, but in current Germany it would be just helles bock unless there was something very specific about the beer.
