ummmmm, either my defonition of bock is REALY wrong, or this is not a bock at all. Canadian ale is how I would describe this one, blond, adjunts, ale yest, cold lagered. But I digress. Pours a deep gold, low carbonation, large bubbles, thick small whispy head, light lacing. mouthfeel is chewy, full and soft/silky. Aroma is sweet plumb with some cerals and a touch of brown grass like hop. Taste is simple. Domonance of brutopia’s almost "Signature" spoiled malt {stop cheeping out mr brewmaster} corn syrop, mild maltyness, flowery hop, grassy hop, and a very nice blend of barn yard grains {corn, oat, rice ect....} with undernotes of sweet corn, cornstarch, spicy hop, ripe fruit and silky smoth crystal malt. Aftertaste is suprising! Stong bitterness dominates with undernotes of bready malt and just a hit of unactive yeast. Very refreshing. Not a bock, but very refreshing. Great example of what "50" tries to be. Should be called "Brutopia’s clasic canadian" or somthing like that. but not the my-bock play on words they use. WE MUST STOP CANADA’S OBSESION WITH MISLABEINIG BEER {blue is called a pilsner, keiths is called a ipa, brown ales are called "Rouse", pale ales with a touch of roasted barley are called mild’s, malt liquors are called strong beer, ect, ect} BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!!!!!! Cheers

Rather soft for such style , medium bodied . Some malt flavour , chewy . Clean and smooth .

Sweet and fruity with lightly spicy notes and some cereal maltiness in the aroma. Clear, deep golden coloured with nice white head that diminishes to cover with some fine lacing. Caramel malt and strong fruitiness up front followed by some cereal-like malt flavours, then decent bitterness in the finish. Refreshing and thirst-quenching, simple, straight-forward mouthfeel. Medium body. Easy to drink and enjoyable though somewhat overly sweet. On tap at the brewpub.
