UPDATED: MAY 5, 2003 An absolutely delicious and oddly unusual beer! This may well be the best damn Ayinger beer I've had yet. Gorgeous looking and surprisingly sweet. I MUST have this again. RERATE: Sweetness hides the alcohol content extremely well. Once again, stellar! Thanks Hopsrus.

Astonishing. Incredibly gorgeous to look at, with a wonderful solid-gold medium body and rich-looking cream-colored head. The aroma is incredible, I can’t begin to describe it, full of malt and acidic fruit flavors; and the flavor is almost too much on top of that. Ultra-malty, as malty as the Optimator I had yesterday, but with just a bit of lightness and fruitiness to keep it from being too heavy; and alcohol is nowhere present. Perhaps too quick a finish, but a world-class beer from a world-class brewere nonetheless.

Good aroma but not a multi-dimensional taste. Frankly, it just sits there. All right, but there are better light bocks out there.

Bitter and fruity with a long finish. Refreshing.

I love the toffee/caramel notes in the flavor. A solid bock.
