The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Much foam for a bock. Tastes very dry, too less sweet, I think. Better than the Jever Pilsener.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 21, 2007
Bottle. Clear, golden beer with a quite nice, off-white head. Too grainy aroma, with alcohol, sweetness and a good dash of hops. Sweet, quite bitter flavor, typical Jever bitterness, with grains and alcohol as well. Medium to full body. The finish is quite sweet and alcoholic. Dry, warming beer that didn’t impress me too much.

the bock of the brewery they named after me... golden colour, head is medium in size and solidity. sweet and hopsy smell. starts intense spicy and malty with hops. mid is bitter hops, the finish is jever-like - bitter and spicy with some malts in the background. not a typical bock but THE bock for people who love north-german-style beers.

TheGrandMaster (2308) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 16, 2007
Bottle at the MicroBar in Clapham, some carbonation in the bright gold colour with a large white foamy head. A strong clean grassy hop aroma with some grainy malt. An interesting salty malt flavour, a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Different.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - JUN 7, 2007
Bottled (thanks to magic_dave6 for sharing!). Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is skunky hops, saltwater and some malts. Flavour is not much at all, but some weak malty notes. The finish has a big alcohol peak along with some grassyness. Unpleasant, and very watery.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 1, 2007
Aroma was pritty bad here, a mix of floural hops an baked beans. Taste is of similar and ale like nature, despite its lagered carbonation. Notes then say: Super cad is angelic, you can a cheese, fly me free.

33cl bottle from Ealing BF 2007. Gold with thick lasting off white head. Clean smelling lager, some lovely creamy hop. A rather good bock actually with lots of hops. Bit like an extreme pilsner. Hops are greenish. Wished I’d bought more than 1 bottle.
