Pours a light copper caramel color with an off white head and a small bit of lacing. Nose is mostly comprised of a bit of yeast and some bready malt. A touch of light fruit. Taste is much the same with a bit more fruit along with some grain. Slightly sweet. Light to medium mouthfeel. Drinkability isn’t half bad. Nothig great about this but it is an easy sipper.

Pours pale amber with thick off-white head and foamy lacing. Notes of hay and grass. Balanced taste that is more reminiscent of a pilsener than a heller bock.

Pours orangeish yellow with a white head. Aroma is bready malt. Flavor is sweet malt, lightly fruity, with a bitter finish.

Bottle (Mardi Gras Bock). Poured orange with a creamy off-white head. Subdue aroma of toasted malts. Empty flavor. Light body and tingly carbonation.

With aggressive pouring got a smallish off white head and a little lace. Color is a hazy medium amber. Aroma is malt caramel fruit. Flavor is two dimensional: malt caramel with carbonic acid a hint of hop and fruit. Body is ok but carbonation is way over done- seems forced. Finish is like flavor. Came all the way down here thinking I could get some special Abitas that I can’t get at home. I’m askin ya, is this any way to answer a reasonable question? Can’t finish this beer.

12oz bottle. Aroma very strong of bread and malt. Flavor very sweet with strong malt finish. A very average beer that I wouldn’t really recommend.

Orangish pour. Off white head. Aroma of wheat bread, one hop pellet and some honey. Flavor is very malty sweet. Generic honey wheat bread and some light caramel. Not much going on here.
