COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Genesee Bock Beer Special Edition, from Genesee!
Our take on the 16th century German legend has turned out to be a legend in its own right. For every spring since 1951, our brewery has carefully crafted and lagered Genesee Bock Beer. The result is an exceptionally hearty, full-flavored beer with a slight malty finish—and a perfect way to celebrate the snow melt.

Butters (2839) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAY 1, 2009
Can from barrios in between corn hole sessions. Clear chestnut pour with mahogany highlights and large brown head. Sweet caramel and grainy. Cloying on the palate and a little metallic. Sweet can though.

NJBeerman013 (969) - Trenton, New Jersey, USA - APR 28, 2009
Can. Poured a ruby amber color with a rapidly fading head. The aroma is a mild caramel, somewhat floral. Tasting reveals a mild, sweet caramel note with a dry, citrusy, hop note in the finish. There is somewhat of a tin characteristic. All in all, a very drinkable beer. I didn’t hate this.

decaturstevo (3387) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - APR 23, 2009
Deep copper pour with a fluffy off white head and lace. Aroma is medium caramel malt with a light hint of sour. Flavor is light caramel malt that tries to be sweet but ends up being almost dry. Not much bitter but a tad. Finishes pretty clean but is a tad foamy and thin for my liking. Overall a very drinkable beer.

TheBeerOrg (1979) - Crestwood, Kentucky, USA - APR 14, 2009
Pours amber with a fully receding off-white head. Notes of caramel, light grain, and some lingering sweetness. Thin to medium bodied with fizzy carbonation.

zathrus13 (1559) - Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA - APR 11, 2009
Can. Pours copper/amber, with a white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, and small bits of hops and grain. Flavor is caramel, malt, and some hops. This would be a good session beer.

jeff789 (1206) - West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 14, 2009
Very clear amber/brown with a very thin white head, not much body to the beer visually... Aroma is sweet with a noticable american macro adjunct smell cutting through... Flavor is initially sweet followed by the adjunct taste... Palate is quite thin and not finishes without much going on... cool can though...
