3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
16 oz. can from drowland- thanks again, Danny! Pours a clear light copper color with a big, thick, frothy off-white head that leaves heavy lace throughout the glass. Aroma of apples, toasted sugar, dry grass, crackers, and wheat. Flavor of grass, straw, mild spice, toast, apples, and toffee. Light-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a clean, malty mouthfeel that has some slight juiciness. I didn’t like it initially but it grew on me somewhat.

Ahh... Lager.
Pours a clear amber color with a foamy just-slightly-off-white head that is gone pretty quickly. Aromas of corn syrup, toffee, caramel. Taste is similar, bready, butter, toffee. A small hop bite. Meh. At least it’s lager, so it gets bonus points.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Medium-bodied, very malty, sweet and bready. Moderate bitterness from the hops. Tons of foam on the pour. A very casual, mediocre example of the style. Given the price, worth picking up, though.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can from BlackIPA. Thanks! Orange/amber pour with a tall white head. Very good retention, actually. Decent toffee, toast, and bread aromas. Lots of grape and apple, some metal, and a light grassiness. The flavor is sweet and malty. Bread, toffee, and toast. Big grape and apple flavors. A bit metallic and tart on the finish.

Honestly, was not sure what to expect from Narragansett Bock. Tall boy can, poured a meduim bodied Heller Bock with stronger than expected hop aroma. This is a keeper recipe, that makes me want to try more styles under the Narragansett brand. Can I sampled was brewed at my favorite Rochester brewery.

New Beer Distributors, NY 16oz ($2): Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is bubblegum and other kinds of weird cheap dollar store candy. Taste is sweet and full of toffee and the like. There is some hop bitterness towards the end. This ain’t that good methinks.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft from NYC Craft Beer Fest. Ascending flavor, particularly in its sweetness. Notes of string cheese baked into a pastry. Not sure if I’d like more than half of a can.
