Meh. Pure mediocrity. Probably my favorite AB product because it sucks the least. Sweet malt with a tinge of sourness. Just not worth it.

Jul 21, 2008 Nice dark lager from A-B. Not a lot of flavor or character but no bad qualities either. Easy drinker, nice balance, some hop bitterness under the sweet roasted malts. Good beer with a meal.

Jul 13, 2008 a nice light dark pour with a decent creamy head. the flavor is lacking although its good... just watered down too much. a good alterrnative beer. its always cosistantly good. but not great. about 5 times better on draft. in my opinions its abs best effort so far.

Jul 10, 2008 Deep amber, nice head.
Not much in the way of aroma, except faint malt.
Nice, malty flavor and rather sweet.
All in all, not bad for a macro.

Jul 6, 2008 Amber Bock opens with a light, frothy head which dissipates quickly. The aroma nicely balances caramel malt and noble hops. While not very complex, the caramel malt comes through cleanly, with light but firm hops and just a whiff of lager-yeast sulfur. The mouthfeel has plenty of body and leaves some malt sweetness. While not my first choice, Anheuser-Busch still makes very good lagers when they don’t add rice!

Jun 30, 2008 I really enjoy this beer on tap and in bottle. It is nice and dark, malty and has a nice body. If you are a fan of dark beers that are sweeter and maltier that this is a good one.
