Michelob Amber Bock

Pitcher @ Rudy’s courtesy of CUJO. Labeled as Rudys red. The bartender tried to take me for a fool by telling me this was homebrew from Saratoga Springs. I quickly pwn3d him betting it was Michelob Ultra Amber.. Impressed he confirmed this was actually Amber Bock. This brew poured on the darker side. Light carmal malts and maybe some chestnut? Had potential but too watery and lacking flavor 2.35

Rudy’s: Nice AMBER color as expected; very clear, highly filtered also as expected. There is a hint of hops and malts, but they are washed away by the excessive water and medium to high carbonation.

12 oz Bottle from my wifes sixer.Pours an amber-brown color with a small off-white head. The aroma is faint and dusty with caramel malts. The taste is bland with washed out caramel and some sweet hazelnuts. The palate is thin and watery with fizzy carbonation. The finish is short and unimpressive. Overall: Nothing objectionable, just another bland AB offering.

Pours a dark brown with thin, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is bread and some toasted malts. Flavor is weak, with a hint of caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel is thin and overly carbonated. A watery and bland beer.

Aroma is faint and slightly sweet with hints of caramel malt. Pours a moderate head and is somewhat clear for a deep amber brew. Tastes bitter upfront with and finishes thin and creamy. Amber Bock has a light body and thin texture, especially for a darker beer. The carbonation is soft and it finishes bitter. Overall, a decent brew from a macro, key words being "from a macro."

Pours a dark clear caramel brown with a small beige head that collapses leaving a bit of sheeting lace. The nose was initially a bit of wet dog that clears away to a metallic, roasted caramel malt. Light-bodied and aqueous with a finely spritzy mouthfeel and a mildly astringent/plastic finish. The flavor is fairly benign: it’s not offensive but it’s not particularly tasty either. It’s like a slightly refined caramel malt seltzer water. While it’s better than many AB offerings, unless you are in a craft beer wasteland, it’s really nothing special.

Sweet caramel aroma, but not much else. More dark red than anything; the head was gone before I was finished flipping burgers. Sweet caramel malt flavor, maybe a little nuttiness in the finish. Palate was creamy, slightly lively. Not much else to say.
