COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bayern Brewing is releasing a special new brew for summer: Dump Truck Summer Bock. When owner, President and Master Brewer, Jürgen Knöller, was working on the recipe for Bayern’s newest beer style, the summertime experience he had on a Bayern company raft trip guided by friends Wayne and Gia Fairchild from “Lewis & Clark Trail Adventures” came to mind. Since this light, bock style lager was going to have a higher alcohol content (over 6% ABV), overindulgence may produce undesired results – like flipping your raft on a Class VI rapid.

Golden in color, hazy with a thin head. Easy flavor light hops and strong wheat malt. Grassy and earth flavors linger. Easy drinking and very solid summer brew.

Bottle:   Pale straw, slight cloudiness, mild carbonation, minor head, dies quickly leaving little lacing.   Mealy/grassy nose, slight mustiness, seems like there is a bit of sweetness.   Sweet grassy maltiness on the tongue, a little mealy but not overly done.   Smooth, fairly clean, straight up example.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Clean finish, as it warms I get a bit of honey on the nose.   Light, clean, easy to drink without being too heavy, with mild sweetness.   Solid in my book.

From a 12 oz. bottle shared with Strykzone via Facebook Chat. Poured a cloudy lemon yellow with a creamy yellowish head and good lacing rings. Nose of grassy hops and lemons. Medium in body and smooth in the mouth. Th flavor was first the lemon and caramel malts. The finish was clean and crisp, and overall this was a very refreshing brew.

12 oz. bottle from Hayduke. We enjoyed it together via facebook chat. This poured kind of like lemonade and was hazy. A smallish off white head didn’t last long. The nose was lemony and grassy. The flavor also showed lemon with some nice malt. It was like a lemon cookie. That stayed steady until the finish which also brought some spicy hops and yeast. This was pleasant and had no negatives at all.

Tap @ Brouwers. Slightly hazy, golden appearance with a white head. Sweet malty bock aroma with nice noble hoppy nose. Creamy, smooth, pale malty lager bock flavor. A little floral. Pretty good.

Seems to have that helles bock smell, a little grass, some alcohol, some strainy grain. This is pretty decent. Not coating or sticky, and doesn’t have a lot of that alcohol aroma in the flavor or finish. Pretty good.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a white, one inch head that lasts. Taste is of malt, wheat, grain, yeast, fruit and citrus. Similar aroma. Has a nice mouth feel, that is yeasty feeling. Very easy to drink and makes a nice summer beer.

Pours hazy wheat yellow with little head but decent carb. Light nose and lager typical smoothness make it summer worthy. I for one don’t really taste the alcohol much at all with this one, which makes it even easier going. Just a decent option summer lager.
