Bottle. Clear golden colour, average white head. No real aroma. Notes of alcohol and of hops, which, combined with the sharp bitterness, make it taste a bit like pepper. Interesting but not easily drinkable Bock.

Fairly pale colour, medium head, clear. Mainly a phenol aroma. Fairly sweet malty taste, notes of grass and phenol. Sharp peppery finish. Overall a decent heller bock, quite a bit like a Maibock.

Im Geruch untypisch getreidig und etwas enttäuschend brotig. Süßlicher Antrunk, hopfig. Zur Mitte aromatisch, angenehm und beginnend malzig. Im Abgang verstärkt malzige Noten und verdeckt alkoholische Schärfe. Schönes Bockbier - süffig und aromatisch. Test vom 25.2.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Bottle from the brewpub
Blond color. Anonymous aroma. The flavor is a bit malty, and the body strength is correct; as well, correct bitterness, with a bit of alcohol in the end. Nevertheless, one more Heller Bock that is not winning my interest in the style.

Hopfiger und kräuterartiger Antrunk, scharf aber angenehm. Im Mittelteil wird das Bier etwas milder, der kräuterartige Ton bleibt weitestgehend erhalten, der aufkommende Alkoholton lässt dies aber in den Hintergrund rücken. Auch das anfänglich noch wichtige Malz rückt hier in den Hintergrund, ist aber im Abgang wieder deutlich zu erkennen, hier wird da Bier zusätzlich süßer und etwas hopfiger. Kein schlechter Bock, insgesamt scheinen die Aromen aber nicht so ganz aufeinander abgestimmt. Danke an MoritzF für das Bier! Test vom 13.4.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,9,9,9,9,9 - 9,30

Bottle… February in Franconia (2011)… Clear golden lager with a mid-sized, fluffy, white head. The bouquet is of pale malts, Tupelo honey and a hint of white pepper. Medium to full-bodied and fatty with zippy carbonation. The flavor is bittersweet with nice pale malts and spicy hops. Short, crisp, mildly bitter finish. Thanks go out to erlangernick and Koelschtrinker for making this month of Franconian lagers possible!

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 29 Jan 2010) Pale yellow colour with a firm, rocky, white head. Malty nose with notes of grass, grain, toffee and a generous malt sweetness. Malty, full flavoured taste with grain, bread, toffee and a spicy, grassy bitterness in the finish. More than full body, balanced malt sweetness. The impressive malt presence and a generous grassy bitterness make this a solid, well balanced and tasty bock. Very nice.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear golden, small but rocky head. Distinct grainy nose with some bubblegum and raisin. Sweet malt condensed to raisin and grain. Chewy potent, near full bodied. Rock solid with some grassy hops. Salty with bitterish finish and some warming alcohol. A superbly competent genuine bock, a work of art!

Bottle, 7.5%. Flowery hop aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Small stable white head. Good malty flavour, slightly creamy. Slightly sweet with a little alcohol note.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and eggs, and so is the flavor, though added notes of citrus, cardboard, and bread. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear golden yellow, small white head, grassy-hoppy aroma with a touch of vegetables. Full-bodied, bitter-sweet with an intensive maltyness and grassy-herbal hops.
