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.

Shag (2229) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - MAR 20, 2010
This poured a light copper color with a minimal head. The aroma contains some yeasty notes and also some heavy herbal thing mixed in with caramel and bready notes. The flavor contains some caramel, bread, and citrus. The finish is somewhat sour. Overall this is an ok session beer but not much else

Nice orange/amber color with off-white head. Malty, floral aroma followed by a sweet, chewy malt body. Good example of the maibock style.

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 5, 2010
Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark golden color with a huge yellow-white head that lingered forever and produced good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy, a touch vegetal and soapy. The flavor was very sweet and sugary, tangy, yeasty and a touch vegetal with light candied fruits underneath. The finish was long with tangy table sugar. Moderately full body. Ok.

Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - FEB 27, 2010
Pours a lasting ring of bleached eggshell head with a very pale amber to deep golden body. Aromas of grain, corn, earth, and yeast. Flavor is corn, slightly floral, yeasty. Finish is a little dry, body is decent, finish is sweet.

Nuffield (3058) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JAN 23, 2010
Moderately clear but pours somewhat hazy and still isn’t brightly transparent; moderately big head with blending caramel and off-white colors. Very nutty, malty aroma with a dollop of hops, but its aroma promises more than the flavor delivers, which is more vintage-y and a bit murky. Dry. Very tempered alcohol, though it is only 6.2%. Bottle.

sleestak (226) - Williamston, Michigan, USA - OCT 7, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours clear and brownish-copper with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet, bready malt and earthy hops with a weird solvent-y background. Taste is actually quite nice - sweet, but not cloying, grain, toasted nuts and an understated spiciness. Body is way too thin, which detracts significantly. Eh.
