COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Wisconsin and European barleys are joined together to create the heart of this intensely malty bier. Norski Honey Bock is accented with fresh clover honey harvested just over the hill from our little brewery. Expect this bier to pour the deepest golden blonde body, crowned with incredible creamy foam. The subtle bouquet is reminiscent of the Old World Hallertau and Saaz Hops.

Golden body, creamy white head. Light bready aroma. The flavor boasts yeasty bread, slight lactic acid tartness, and minimal hops. Good light mouthfeel, carbonation seems appropriate.

Clear light gold color with big bubbled white head. Aroma is light hops and maybe honey. Taste is more like a pilsener, sweet and malty. Real smooth but a little too sweet.

Nice sort of a golden/orange color.small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.Nice malty aroma with a mild sweet side and some honey like notes.The flavor was even better IMO.Malty flavor with a slight full feel to it nice honey flavor with maybe a hint of fruit but just what kind is hard to say.The hops are fairly faint with the brew being nicely sweet,with just a slight bitter after taste but it’s so fleeting that you hardly notice it.Very nice brew and Thanks go to Jpdipso for sending this brew my way.

This was a nice summer beer with head that disolved almost instantly. Nice sweet honey taste that is not overbearing. I could easily drink six of these on my back porch in the summer without even realizing it.

Bottle form Kevin42. Great straw/gold pour with a one finger head that fades into a bubble film. Nose is very hoppy with alcohol hints. Mouthfeel is thick and it coats the tounge well. Taste notes are hops, bitter honey, and straw. The finish is quite pleasant, as it is sweet and smooth. This is not the best New Glarus brew that I have had, but it is very good. Overall it is a very satisfying beer and I would recommend it.

bottle. pours a very pretty gold color with a thin white head. strong nose that is sweet, probably the honey. spicy flavor, good hop taste. this would go well with some spicy jambalaya, or other flavorful food. finish is much more mellow. there is a sweet undertone to this beer that is nice.

jewedekind (450) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 9, 2004
Pours a thin white head with fair retention and lacework. Clear, medium yellow/gold. Slight aroma of malt. Starts bitter and hops are evident, then malt takes over and over, and over. A great beer to use an example of a malt flavor. Just a hint of hop character (to style). Leaves a buttery richness on the palate. Slightly effervescent throughout, helps moderate the maltiness. These guys make no bad beer, and are great at these Bohemian/Bavarian styles.

JCapriotti (1379) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 8, 2004
Nice golden pour and a small fizzy white head... maintains a nice creamy ring around the edge. Light and clean aroma of honey, white grapes, and a light graininess. The graininess becomes more apparent as it warms. Taste is a bit better than I thought. Crisp with a predominently grassy honey taste. Nice pleasant summer bock.
