Ernest (4285), Boulder, Colorado, USA Sep 6, 2005 Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted bread, caramel), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, apricot, resin).
Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly astringent, lightly alcoholic.
Bocks are about malt, or should be. Here we have something where the hops dominate, so how should I rate? By style or by personal enjoyment? I usually use a loose blend of the two when considering my scores. This fails on both counts, though, so I don’t really know what to say.
