2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: SEP 28, 2011 A good beer with a rich amber color and a somewhat nice thin foamy head. Not too heavy so it’s a good beer to be enjoyed readily throughout the day. Scents and tastes of caramel and malt are noted but neither of which are too heavy or overbearing of the other; but there’s a nice little bite of hops at the end that makes this a right-tasty beer!
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
(12oz bottle thanks to Dixonian) golden-orange pour with creamy fine tan bubbles. Nose of florals, stinky, cereal grain. Taste of sugar, grain, old, rotten. Abita beer is never my favorite. Linger is pretty gross.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear amber. Aroma of caramel, bread, a touch of fruit. Sweet flavor, light mouthfeel. I would not have guessed this was 6.4%
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a clear light amber color with orange hues. Aroma of caramel and roasted grain. Flavor is caramel, grain, dried fruit and a touch of citrus. This is a really tasty heller bock.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours a light amber color. Small white head. Roasty malt aroma. Grainy flavor. Plenty of bitterness. Good body. Decent beer. Date not printed on it, but believe it is a little old. Overall, ok, but missing the sweetness that I have enjoyed in othe bocks.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
deep amber with a cream head. nose is overly sweet, and bready malts. decent palate, big malts and a light sweetness.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(12oz bottle from Total Wine Desert Ridge). Pours a clear amber color with a bit of sediment in suspension. Nice pillow-top, tan colored head. Nice carbonation. Aroma has some caramel, a hint of fruit and maybe some jaggery. Taste is...a mess. It doesn’t come together like the aroma until the aftertaste. At first, it has a harsh buttery hop bite, maybe a little metallic note and finally the rich, aromatic sweetness found in the nose. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel. Finish is ultimately bitter and the alcohol is noticeable. This was almost a good beer.
