At the bierkoning in Amsterdam, dark golden, medium head, some spices, real orginal jever hops, sweets, regular bock from ost friesland.

NOt that good, I expected more and after someone reccomended me the JEver Pils I have only found how not so good they are.

Sampled @ Pint Meibockfestival. Copper/blond colour, faint aroma of malts and hops. Taste is bitter, some sweetness, but finishes bitter again. Thin body. Not good.

I like this bock, it has a pleasent bitterness. Golden colour, clear. Has a white head. Malty aroma, notes of alcohol. Flavor starts moderate sweet, after 5 secs a distinct bitterness is clearly present. Nice.

Pours a hazy medium yellow. Aromas of malt, caramel, and some floral. Flavor malty and spicy with some nice hop bite.

Bottled (BB 10/2008)
