COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Point Einbock is an authentic Maibock Style Lager. There are many stories as to how Bock beers were named. Some assert the origins date back to the north-German town of Einbeck. Others maintain that "bock," the German word for "goat," relates to the "kick" of some bock beers. This seasonal Bock beer, offered only during the Spring, is hand-crafted utilizing the finest Munich and Vienna styles of specialty malts with a blend of Bavarian Hallertauer hops. With a German translation of "One-Bock," Point Einbock is one Bock you are sure to enjoy.

[3684-20110416] 355mL bottle. Light grass and field mud aroma has a hint of floral spice. Clear, medium orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Corn cob grains flavour. Medium body has just a little bitter boozy bite to it. Average, not sure I’d enjoy a larger sample. (6/3/6/3/11) 2.9

Pale golden pour - thin white head. The aroma is slightly sweet and a little bit of lean malt. Softly sweet with a light honeyed flavour. A touch of white pepper. A bit clean and fairly sweet with some light alcohol. It’s quite nice actually, if fairly simple.

Bottle 355 ml
Aroma: proper straight aroma typical to stronger pale lager. Good malts , mineral hop with slight dryness of alcohol. 6+
Appearance: bright golden with hint of amber. Clear. Bright medium plus white top. Proper again.
Palate / Taste: Medium plus bodied. Smooth malty base with toasty feel , hint of cardboard. Other than that straight malty lager. Not bad effort of this style.

2011-04-17. Crisp golden body with a foamy white head. 3+ Mild aroma, mild sweet pale malt, light alcohol. 6+ Flavour is simple, mild pale malt profile, sweet finish. 6+ Smooth average bodied palate. An enjoyably simple example of a style that is not one of my favorites. Bottle shared by Radek

LinusStick (2386) - Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 29, 2011
Meh....just a typical heller bock. Nothing great but not as bad as I was expecting. Aroma was very lager like.with a hint of sulfur and slightly vegetal. Pour was a nice deep cloudy amber with a few bubbles and no head. Taste was very sweet and thick. Roasted caramel and sweet candy with nothing to balance it out. Sticky sweet aftertaste. Medium carbonation.

Bottle. Poured clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium toasted sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable beer.
