3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Lunar Brewing Co., with "Mardi Gras Bock" on the handle. Dispensed to a shaker with a clear, deep, golden amber hue, fairly lasting, off white head foam, and dots and dashes of lacing. The aroma was lightly toasted malt, some graininess, a little yeast, and a bit of pils scent. The flavor added some low hop bitterness and a hint of sweetness, in a medium to light body. Not overly thrilled, but a decently drinkable Helles.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2010 Pours an off-white head with a copper-amber body. Smells of yeast, sweet, and barnyard. Flavor is caramel and yeast. Little dry on the finish.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 30, 2003 Sweet caramel malt flavors, crisp, light medium body. A really nice smooth bock.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Beer pours a clear medium orange-gold color with a small, off-white, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma isn’t very nice: malty with moderate notes of husky toasted grain, light notes of caramel; yeasty with a trace of dough; moderate-to-heavy miscellaneous notes of cooked corn/DMS, diacetyl, higher alcohols (smells like a bad mead) and a trace note of honey. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter with a long, unclean, warm, lightly bittersweet finish. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pale light brown--Bubbly head, with moderate
retention. Malty aroma. Good flavor, but a little
watery. Not quite as crisp as I expected.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
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.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light golden color. A little white head. Malty aroma, some spice maybe, but not that impressive. Flavor was thing, some malt, but that's about it. Nothing to write home about. Bought this 12 oz bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, NY.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear golden hue. Light sour nose. Small, white, quickly dissipating head. Metallic, sour, pale malts, light to medium bodied, bitter almost skunky hops in the finish.
