3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (bought at Barnikel’s) Slightly hazy, golden coloured, mid-sized, fluffy head, quickly diminishing; faint aromas: citrus, sweet malts, barnyard, alcohol; soft bitter-sweet flavour; longer, quite hoppy and a bit sweetish finish; quite light bodied or well hidden alcohol. A decent, easy drinkable Bock, but not great, because too "bland"..............
