0.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 jkane (21) - USA - MAY 19, 2005
They should have names this Missed It Bock! It is so far off in style of a Mai Bock that I can’t beleive so many people fall for the marketing hype. The flavor is so mild that I need a glass of water to satisfy me after drinking it. There is no body nor color to this beer either. When offered this beer, I reply by saying, no thanks, I’d rather have a beer!

On tap at the brewery, pours a dark golden/orange with an off white head and some lacing, aroma is sweet with caramel and some molasses, flavor has a sweet front end with a finish of caramel, not terrible.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 whitebear (38) - - APR 30, 2012
A dark gold to light amber with little to no head retention. Aroma is of light floral. Taste is a medium maibock with lingering spice
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Aurelius (3143) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - APR 27, 2012
Sweetish, cakey malt aroma with some light vanilla and a little twang. Pours a bright orange, with a thin nearly-white head. Good label and cap, twistoff longneck. Nice, even bitterness, not very sweet, maybe a wee bit of brine to it. Medium body, a tad on the light side -- or perhaps that’s just the impression that it gives because it is a clean-drinking brew. A woody-bitter finish. This would be a good barbeque beer -- it’s just a good ’with food’ brew. ABC, Betton.

Tallahassee, FL - New Leaf Market - 12 oz bottle. Pours a medium copper, light off-white head. Slightly sweet aroma, hints of caramel, a touch of molasses. Flavor is full-bodied and sweet in just the right way. Pick up some nutty notes, a bit of caramel, hints of chocolate, finish of molasses. Mouthfeel is smooth. Overall, nice.

Nice clear amber red color with a decent head with very little lacing. A balanced beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 ccex (252) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 19, 2012
12 oz bottle pours a clear light orange color with a small white head. Smells of honey, caramel, and flowers. Aroma is pretty much the same, with some grassiness. Easily drinkable. Body is at best medium with noticeable carbonation. This has a clean finish which makes me want to come back for more. Very good, but it didn’t make me say WOW.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20 Chicagio (5) - - APR 9, 2012 does not count
Solid spring beer. Fresh but definitely malt enough to know you’re drinking something with body.
3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 akoeninger (10) - - APR 9, 2012
Very smooth finishing beer. Light refreshing taste. Great balance. Very drinkable and light. Good session beer, even if it lacks some character.

Out of a bottle. Creamy head and firm dark rich body. Very smooth, enjoyable hop balance. Nice finish. Great seasonal.

Aroma is slightly perfumed bread and grainy malts. The flavor is malty and grainy along with a hint of fruit. Pretty good heller bock.
