May 13, 2007 Medium bronze with small head. Grainy malt nose, that is reserved, not very sweet. Rather bland malt flavors that don’t differentiate or meld well. Drinkable, but little character.

Oct 20, 2006 On tap at the full sail brewery. Pours a clear copper color with a short lasting white head. lightly toasty malt that was kinda lost in the big hopped finish. Aroma was more of a dry grainy malt nose, sweeter then the actual taste of the beer. Just had to much hops for my taste in bocks, needed a stronger malt presence.

Aug 2, 2006 Draught at Hood River brewery (in July, not fall, labelled simply as Bock): Bright amber colour. Toasty, slightly caramelly aroma. The flavour is relatively mild, and surprisingly citric/berrish, with an earthy, caramelly malt note.

Oct 24, 2005 Tap at brewery. Pours a light, clear, golden color with a modest white head. Aroma is grassy hops and a bit of toasted malt. Light bodied. Decent mouthfeel, decent balance of malt and hop in flavor. Very hoppy for the bock style. Really a decent beer, just nowhere close to a bock in style, hence the lower rating.
