Budweiser with food coloring. Seriously, thats what it tastes like. ITS THE SAME THING! Way too much carbonation, no flavor...its just a gross beer. A joke. Actually, amber light or ultra whatever its called is a joke.

bottle. a good economic choice for anyone outside of the midwest, but if you need to drink a dark lager, go with Leinenkugel’s Creamy Dark.

For it’s price, Amber Bock is very tasty. For anyone on a budget, if you can’t afford better dark lager’s, it’s the way to go. There are a number of different imports, or even domestic specialties that are much better, but they’re all more expensive.

just say no. the promise of dark lager may lure you in for a try but trust your instincts when you see that michelob label. has a nutty front end but the high carbonation quickly kills any flavor this beer has to offer. this is a light lager dressed up in fancy label with some brown die tossed in for good measure. if your going to drink highly carbonated beer just grab a canadian or yuengling. this brew leaves you nothing but regret.

UPDATED: APR 9, 2008 A nice dark lager. Pours a dark amber out of the bottle but if you get it on tap its alot darker although it doesnt have anymore flavor than the bottle. Its good for what it is but wont blow you away.

Slightly sweet flavor with notes of black cherry and raisins. Doesn’t taste terribly watered-down but it is certainly lighter than I had expected - perhaps naively given the brand. Overall not a bad beer for the price ($5.99) and one I could recommend when considering American brews.

12oz brown bottle (adjunct version). Clear copper-brown body with virtually no head and no retention or lacing. Slight scent of sweet malt. Tastes slightly roasty and sweet, but otherwise watery with a hint of dms, I think. Light watery mouthfeel. Fairly drinkable. Not particularly good. Not something I’d ever get again, if they still made this version.

12oz brown bottle (all-malt version). Clear copper-brown body with a half an inch of off-white head. Smells a bit on the weak side, but c aramel malt dominates. Tastes roasty and caramelly too, sweet. Medium in body. Very drinkable. Not sure I’d call with one a bock still, but aside from being slightly weak, I have no problem with this beer,and I can deffinitely see drinking this one again when I’m a little strapped for cash, or maybe even when I’m not. Good stuff.

I prefer this dark Lager with my Beef. It’s my good old stand bye. Well balanced, after tones are slightly harsh, but well worth the beer.
