phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 13, 2008 I just had this brew again recently. Pours a little thick, deep copper body with a very creamy mouthfeel. A sweet finish, not overly malty, but a pretty nice tasting bock. inch4foam (4), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA does not count May 12, 2008 Updated: May 17, 2008I really like this beer, a solid choice for a dark lager.I expected it would be alittle higher abv.
drawz (10), Keene, Texas, USA May 10, 2008 I admit I’m parttial here as a native Texan, but it’s a thick headed bock beer with tons of taste. It also smells like a bock beer should. Not as bitter as most bock beers and wonderful with steaks. 17thfloor (1403), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 8, 2008 Pours like rootbeer... like exactly like rootbeer... large nasty looking carb. bubbles and a thin sudsy beige head. Smells like dust, mold, with distant notes of burnt caramel malt. Seriously? This is about as bad as the blonde... maybe worse... where is the flavor??? Sweet sugary flavor with a small hint of caramel. There is no beer in my beer!?!?!? It’s not bad tasting.. it just really doesn’t taste like anything... msante79 (782), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA May 8, 2008 Had sveral times when in texas. Pours dark amber with white head. Flavor is malt and caramel. FLavor is much the same. smooth thin mouth feel with little complexity. Pleople love this stuff in Texas. Sort of a micro for the masses. gfolivares (67), McAllen, Texas, USA May 8, 2008 Pours a copper amber color with a two finger head. Mild malty aroma with subtle hints of caramel and freshly baked bread. Medium bodied with a sweet malty flavor and a gentle hop finish. Very drinkable and an ideal session beer. Try with traditional Texas barbeque or smoked sausage. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA May 7, 2008 Draft. I’ve had this many times, but figure it’s time to actually rate it. Pours an amber/brown color with a small head that stays around. Smells mildly of malts and straw. It has a lot more body than the typical macros it tends to compete with...a bit of caramel maltiness, some understated hops. The real reason for its popularity is the clean, easy-drinking finish. This one sure won’t blow anyone away, but as a substitute for BMC Lite at a bar or concert, it’s a good step forward. aspeese (28), Dallas, Texas, USA May 6, 2008 Great beer for being a pretty massed produced beer. Aroma is good, initial taste and aftertaste are fine and the color is wonderful in my opinion
