(33cl bottle, with thanks to Quack-Duck) Clear, golden (!) colour with a mid-sized eggshell-coloured foamy head. Sweet cara-malty nose, slightly bready and a bit milky with traces of honey and alcohol. Sweet flavour, medium to full with a soft carbonation. Pale malt-character, slightly nutty taste with notes of cara-malt; sweet malt-accented finish with alcohol and shy hoppy notes. Not overly spectacular, but well-quaffable Bock, which is, despite the name, more a pale than a dark Bock, imo (05.02.08).

Angenehmer und ausgewogener würziger Antrunk mit leicht süßer Malznote. Im Mittelteil wird das Bier wenig herb, bleibt in der Intensität aber auf dem Niveau des Antrunks. Etwas malziger, es mangelt etwas an bockiger Stärke. Frisch, erst im Antrunk würziger, dabei aber nicht übermäßig stark. Ok, teilweise etwas zu schwach und unausgewogen. Danke an quack-duck! Test vom 27.12.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,8,9,11,9 - 8,80

Bottle, 7.0%. Sweet aroma, some terpentine. Clear dark golden colour. Small white head. The flavour has a little terpentine esters, OK maltiness. Hint of roughness in the finish. OK Bock except for the terpentine notes.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Golden, not dark! Starts sweet and alcoholic, drier in the end. Finish also a bit spicy. Good bock! Thanks to quack-duck for the bottle!

O.K., quite well drinkable "slim" Bock..........
