Jun 14, 2008 Draft at Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket on Rt. 66. I finally, finally get to check Texas off my list of states. Eh, I just didn’t want to buy a sixer of this stuff, and St. Arnold’s hasn’t come up here yet. And it’s not as bad as I’d been led to believe; thought it might just be another pale lager that was labeled "bock" because of some arcane Texas blue law. A decent amber color in my draft shaker. Smell is passably malty. Taste shows shows at least some bock ancestry, with crystal, Vienna and caramel malt. But sweet. I think there’s plenty of corn in here. Not much hop bitterness, but may be in keeping with the style. Suspect this has been going its own way for a century, altered for reasons of cheapness or local taste, until it barely resembles an actual bock.

Jun 12, 2008 Dont tell this to anyone from Texas, but this beer sucks ass. And why? Who the hell knows. Watery, bland and a mess.

Jun 12, 2008 Bock my ass.Boring and bland with little flavor. And yet, it remains a Texas icon. Huh? Why?

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a decent head. Aroma is a bit grainy and sweet. Flavor is weak, sweet malt with a mild hop finish. Very watery, thin bodied. Its not terrible.

Jun 7, 2008 Amber color. Nice solid flavor. Nothing surprising and nothing too heavy. Slight coating of the tongue but still OK. Not bitter at all but seems to taste like a low calorie beer. This is easy to drink but I can name a lot of easy to drink beers. This really isn’t that memorable. This was a freebie from the Miller rep. THANKS

May 30, 2008 Likeable beer like a friend who just invited you over for beer. Medium bodied, smooth and rich like my friend the neighbor who invited me over for a beer.

May 24, 2008 Deep amber color......thick head, though it fades extremely fast. Very subtle malt aroma. Slightly sweet maltiness in the front......just a bit of a crisp mouthfeel. A hint of bitterness in the back.

May 23, 2008 Ok, so there are not many surprises when it comes to this beer, but it still has a good malty/ nutty bock flavor to it. The aroma is a nutty bock aroma as is the taste, and it has a slight lager aftertaste, but it is still refreshing and a good staple with Mexican food.
