This beer reminded me of alot of other beers mixed together, but in a pretty good way. Flavor was decent with a good balance of sweetness and bitterness. Aroma was very bread like, but was not overbearing.

Bottle. Pours bright orange with a small white head. Full aroma of sweet and flowery caramel...The flavour is that typical bock profile of caramel and honey sweetness. Thick flavourful bread notes too. Tasty.

Malty aroma, with some hops, dark amber, pours a tiny white head. Malty, spicey flavour. Light bodied, spicey and refreshing. Really quite nice. Thanks mds.

Had as part of a variety 12-pack. Had a sweet taste, almost too sweet for my taste. The malts really came out in the smell.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden with a thin white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film.

The aroma is sweet toasted malts, corn, biscuit and a little fruitiness.

The flavor is sweet, slightly sugary, toasted malts with some Noble hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium and slightly watery.

Overall, not my favorite style, but this was better than I expected (although, I wasn’t expecting much).

Malty Aroma w/ hop notes. Clean.. .. Light Amber color, small head, couple of bubbles. .. . Medium sweetness and bitterness, malt predominant in finish. .. .. med-light body, prickly from carbonation. .. .. Pretty tasty bock beer. Authentic, yet nothing stands out. Good balance.
