COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Desire coupled with curiosity can drive you to do many foolish things. Fortunately, opening a bottle of our Pandora’s Bock is not one of them. Once it is released, a wealth of flavor and complexity will spill out into the world. With a traditional bock flavor profile and a hint of hoppy goodness, there’s a reason it’s spoken about in mythical terms.

Bottle . Dark orange color, thin white head. A little sweet malty aroma, soft and smooth, medium body, light finish. A pretty good bock.

This was good, wasn't sure at first, actually got better when it wasn't as cold. Not a regular Bock drinker, but will try this again! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Breckenridge Pandora’s Bock has a medium, cream-colored head and a semi-clear, copper appearance, with lots of streaming bubbles (etched glass) and some splotchy lacing left behind. The aroma is of sweet, brown bread, and the flavor is of that, plus some bread crust, a dash of bitterness, and a fruity undertaste. This beer, at 7.5% alcohol, takes on a double bock aspect as one drinks it down. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Breckenridge Pandora’s Bock finishes mostly dry, sweet, malty, and drinkable. One just does not pick up the alcohol with this. Overall, it’s really nice, and I rate it as being very fine. RJT

Flat pour, mahogany rather simple bock, bready malt with light bitterness. If Pandora’s Bock was a Malt Liquor like it says on the side of the label I may have enjoyed it more.

This was one, if not the best bock I’ve had. Even my non beer drinking fiance liked it. I plan on making this a regular.

This poured a darker amber color with an off white head. Aroma was of herbal hops, light nuts and caramel. Flavor was sweet, mild dark fruits and toasted bread and caramel. Meh.

Tap at Smoke & Barrel. Pours a clear amber. Good off white head. Odd sticky red nose, odd twig and berries combo like juniper and spruce. Taste is simply not good. So dry and bland with huge dustiness. Extreme medicinal bitterness and tree bark.

On tap. Pours a hazy copper color with a small amount of off white head. Aromas of caramel, toastiness, some grains, and a little earthy. Tastes of toasted grains, caramel, tart grape, and citrus.
