COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Red Brick Red Bock is a local interpretation of traditional Bavarian Spring brews such as the Märzen or Maibock. Made with Annandale Springs water from the north Georgia mountains and both domestic and imported ingredients, Red Bock will show the balance and subtle complexity associated with Atlanta Brewing's other offerings such as Red Brick Ale and Peachtree Pale Ale. Long-time head brewer Dave McClure's interpretation of the style is a rich red brew with strong maltiness accented by subtle hints of caramel and spiced nicely with European hops; the perfect warm-up for the last cold days of the season. No more than 100 barrels of this brew will be produced, and it will only be available in Georgia on draft. Fear not, however, as it will be available at the airport for those just passing through our fair state.

Pours brownish-red with beige head. Nice roasty aroma. Tastes like a maltier version of their Ale and has the same subtle smoky hints (maybe a little peat malt?). Nice caramel flavor and good hop balance.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - MAR 17, 2005
Poured a clear ruby color with a thin tan head. Roasted malt aroma and brown sugar. Flavors of caramel, roasted malt with a mild bitter finish. Medium to full body. Very filling.

Probiere (992) - Iowa, USA - MAR 14, 2005
Cinnamon/malt/dark honey, touch of molasses smell. Has a caramel hint up front and finishes very biscuity. Not much like a maibock really, but fairly tasty. Nice body.

wunderbier (1434) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAR 13, 2005
On draft at the brewery, pint glass. Sort of smokey, caramelized...with dark dried fruits. Very Maibockish...May Goats! Not much head but a very rich looking ruby hue. Moderately sweet, moderately acidic flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately bitter, moderately acidic finsh. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: There’s something about their base malt which doesn’t quite fit for me, but the overall quality here indicates a big turn around for this brewery.

aracauna (2649) - Georgia, USA - MAR 13, 2005
The body is a dark reddish brown with a nice head that laces. The liquid is a bit sticky and it follows with the sweet malty body. This is an extremely rich bock, as heavy-bodied and rich as a stout. But the brewery doesn’t claim it to be a good example of the style, but a local take on the style, so you can take points off for that. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it the best thing they’ve brewed so far, but I haven’t had the amped up Winter Ale yet either.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - MAR 12, 2005
Pours a dark copper ruby with a thin lightly lacing off-white head. Has a soft grainy malty aroma with a touch of lager yeast. Sweet malty caramel body has some sticky noble green hoppiness and a touch of lager yeast with a dry filling finish. I don’t know what it is, but for its style it’s way too filling. I had trouble finishing the whole pint. It’s nice to see Atlanta Brewing coming out with some new stuff though.
