12oz brown bottle. Dark orange colour, small fast fading white head. Aroma is sweet and bready. Flavour is grainy, moderate sweetness. Finish is quick and dry, not much aftertaste. Moderate carbonation and light body. Unexciting beer, and not even close to having enough depth to be Bock. Been waiting a while to try this one, guess I could have waited longer....

12 oz bottle poured into pint glass. Deep copper color with a large but rapidly diminishing off-white head. Aroma is adjuncts, bready malts, and metal. Flavor is bready and semisweet. No hops, no complexity. Very simplistic , but tasty enough. Medium-thin body with nice carbonation. Tastes more like a Munich lager than a bock. Definitely not robust enough to claim the bock style. Very easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle at Ruby’s Bar-B-Q in San Antonio, TX. They keep ’em on ice at the beginning of the Bar-B-Q line. Tasted great with brisket, ribs, chicken, and creamed corn. Dark brownish-amber with a lightly creamed white head. Smell of doughy yeast, and light roasted malt. Taste of roasted malt and caramel. Overall texture is light to medium, malty taste lingers but the finish is also a bit watery.

Very interesting deep amber coloration. Head disappeared almost immediately, and despite good coloration and aroma, this beer remains relatively flavorless. Good beer, just wish it had more flavor.
