Michelob Amber Bock

Good looking, dark lager, initial sip raised expectations that were dashed by a watery and flavorless palate.

~Pours a clear dark amber color with big foamy white head. ~Sweet caramel malt scent with some sourness, like wet hay. ~Sweet taste, mild bitterness, same sour, wet, hay flavor that was in scent. ~Medium feel, somewhat dry finish. ~Its drinkable, good when trying to swallow a tough piece of meat. I dont care for the sour hay crap they put in macro brews.

Pours a light cooper red with a small white head that mostly dissipates. Faint nose of barley. Mouthfeel is OK but not overly creamy. Taste is mild barley/malt flavor with a slightly dry finish. Not a big bold beer. Seems to have been brewed for the masses and thus is a little insipid and uninspired.

Hint of malt nose, slightly creamy, caramel taste. Finished smooth and not very bitter. Pretty watery like a michelob product.

Bottle@Home, 3.2% ABW. Malty, herbal and sugary aroma. Brown colour, beige irregular head, few lace. Light sweet, light malty, light bitter, some herbs, chewing gum. Thinnish. Like a bock mixed with water.

After multiple pitchers on draft at the local Video Saloon, I’d come to know this as light-bodied, having a grainy, husky caramel malt taste, cleaner than many and not something I’d mind repeating. Now from the bottle - nose is dusty, lightly grainy but now showing some bread and sweet caramel malt. Dark amber pour with a lightly lacing beige head. Taste reasonably try with just a touch of bitterness, aromatic character slowly creeping in. Too many Coke notes. Carbonation is weak (and worse - cheap) and the finish sours somewhat. Light body with a pinch of creaminess. One of the better macros available.

Pours deep amber with a 1 inch off white head that diminishes quick enough. Aroma of mild dark malts. Flavor is mild, unsurepticious and indicative of a beer that most people could drink. Body is a bit sharp but not overly so. But too much, you know what i mean? Finish is, belive it or not, tart.

Pour amber copper brown with a thin white head. Nose is roasted malt caramel and molasses Taste is Roasted Malt sweet sugar and a touch of hops. Finish is clean on the beginning and a bit rough on the finish. Overall a simple beer to drink but there is much better. A budget minded beer.
