3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a deep amber with a large off white foam head that is very slow to dissipate. Smells of sweetness, yeast, and that macro brew smell like bud. Gentle, a little sweet not tasting much for hops just a regular brew type flavor. Despite being a bock, i’d put this as somewhere between a regular bud and sam adams lager, with almost no after taste, just a tad bitter.

Can. Pours a ruby red. Has some bubbles and fizzy. A bit malty and creamy. I look forward to this when it comes out. I know its a low budget beer but for the price and the taste nothing wrong with it. Pretty good.

Can. Really disappointed with this one. Started off great. Nice pretty ruby amber color. Aroma smelled like the can. Tasted like a cross between PBR and Killians. Not good.

Can from "under the stairs." Nice pour: bronze color with ruby highlights and a small off-white head and a little lacing. pleasant aroma of sweeter malt and a touch of hops. They lose me in the flavor. On the thin/light side with not much going on. Not offensive but not great.

12oz can. 6.99 a 12-pack. Filtered orange-amber. Thin, creamy of-white head. Subdued, malty, relatively true to style. A little thin, some factory water and maybe some adjuncts. Close to being a real go -to beer for the price, but still just a little too macro and devoid of the richness, or yeasty pungency you’d hope for in a Bock of any sort. Caramel laced finish. OK.

12 oz can purchased at Bark’s Beer Cave in Plattsburgh, NY. Initially metallic aroma, which becomes a little sweeter and fruitier. Pretty bock-like. Transparent ruddy-copper body with a small, quickly dissipating head. This starts pretty bland, with primarily carbonation present. Some caramel and metallic flavors come through in the middle. Some vegetal notes later along with some fusels. Not so great.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
can. a clear, lifeless amber with a huge, foamy, off-white head. pale aroma with a bit of toasted nutty malt. very smooth drinking. flavor is malty with a bit of toasted malt and toffee. love the can.

This is a mild bock. Nice caramel malt aroma and flavor. Very easy drinking. Good session beer.
