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.

Pours light amber in colour, small white head. Slightly sweet aroma and taste. Nothing special here, but not bad at all.

One those beers that is generic in almost every way. Yes, it has a pale malt crunch, but so does every other heller bock and Einbecker is much better.

roder60 (1234) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 12, 2010
Pours a clear copper color with the perfect amount of frothy offwhite head. Looks great. Aroma sweet caramel covered pear. Flavor very light, sweet caramel malt base, bit of dark cherry and pear flavors. Overall, decent, but not overly complex.

Bottle. Pours golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet, grassy, malty. Flavor follows aroma, except that the beer finishes pretty dry.

votzer (77) - Hixson, Tennessee, USA - AUG 8, 2010
pours a honey color light white head that dissipates quickly, virtually no lacing, light malty aroma with a touch of sweetness, nice smooth tasting, malt with sweet toffee, nothing much to rave about a nice drink for a summers day.

a pleasant aroma to this formidable brew. spicy hop profile and adequate supply of slightly sweet and soulful malt balances out the peppry, carbonated tingle that is in layer with a bit of perfumed soap.bit of fruit like midtone, interesting and rather genuine.

Poured a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with some earthy and grassy notes. Taste has a decent amount of malt flavors as well as hops. Medium-bodied, and slightly sweet. Finish has some caramel malts. An interesting take on the style.
