RBESG 2009 Grand Tasting at Harlequin, Sheffield. Even though it is called a bock, it tastes mostly like a stronger lager. and a ratehr uninspired one I might add. thin bodied, malty some corn. Already forgotten.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright orange beer, very carbonated, leading to a medium, dense, just yellowish head. Strong sweetish-alcoholic nose; bay leaf, toasted malts. Taste reveals more of the same, but with a dry, spicy (horseradish powder? galangaroot?) finish, dimming the alcoholic sweetness. Aftertaste is long and again the alcohol-extracted spices with the alcoholsweetness. No alcoholwarming, however; quite slick to even a bit viscous, and at least medium bodied. OK, but just too sweet to my liking, and the sharp alcoholcharacter doesn’t help at all.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap. A clear, golden to amber beer topped by a finger-thick, white head. Buttery and fruity nose with topical fruits, sugar and grains. Maybe not sounding very good, but it was not bad at all. The flavor has some grains, with fruityness, white sugar and a fine bitterness. Full-bodied and slightly warming, heavy on the carbonation. Warming, bitter and fruity finish. Overall, too buttery but a decent beer. 110502

On draft at Paraplu, Den Haag. Golden pour with white bubbly head. Light hops to aroma and flavor but very bland. Not unpleasant on a hot day, but certainly not a quality beer
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Recht süßer Antrunk, hefig, leicht alkoholisch. Im Mittelteil gefasster, würzig süß und hellmalzig auf angenehmem Niveau. Hier komtm eine Herbe langsam empor, die sich unterhalb der Süße einnistet und von nun an konstant bleibt. Vor allem das Malz in Verbindung mit der Süße sorgen für Vollmundigkeit, zum Ende scheint daraus resultierend ein leichter Nusston zu kommen. Cremig, zum Ende deutlich süßer, hier spielt der Hopfen zum ersten Mal eine wichtige, wenn auch nicht maßgebende Rolle. Netter Bock, der mit seinen Aromen tatsächlich eher in den Frühling als in de Winter passt. 9/9/9/11/8/9
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Brand Lentebock has a clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma has some lemon and yeast. Some breadiness because of the yeast. Flavour starts of refreshing, almost like a pilsner, with some wheat, lemon and a bit of coriander. It finishes off with a real hoppy bitterness, which I don’t think matches with the beer. A refreshing beverage, too bad for the bitterness."
