On draft at the brewpub; had the sampler, which I didn’t take notes on, but had a pint of this afterwards. Color was a little darker than gold amber with not much head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, sweet malt and alcohol. Flavor was similar; straightforward and tasty. Sweet malt, alcohol, caramel with some fruitiness. Good beer at a pretty cool place.

May 26, 2008 Golden-amber. Bright. The aroma is caramel, alcohol and light wood. The palate is firm with a clean malty grip. Dry finish, still with some caramel.

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle, special from brewery. Amber color. Little to no head. Mildly alcoholic nose with some fruits and raisins thrown in. Odd bitterness in the finish.

Mar 24, 2008 Updated: May 18, 2008A freind picked up a growler of this from the brewery in Fredericksburg over the weekend, brought it to work a day or two later to share. By that time a bit of the aerated liveliness (and head/lacing potential) had diminished, but that didn’t affect the taste. It had a lovely amber-gold color and was very tasty for a bock, a nicely sweet and hoppy. Reminded me a little of the Sierra Nevada ESB - might have been the sweet balance with the hops. Not sure why. Did they use Cascade? Served chilled but not COLD, felt nice and warm on the tongue. Was very good for a south Texas microbrew. I was (am) impressed.

May 25, 2006 On tap at the brewery. Clear straw gold in color with fluffy white had and sticky lacing. Sweet malt notes in the nose. Sweet malt profile with a slight bitter bite for balance. Goes do almost too well. Another well made beer.
