Bottle from a family reunion 6’er poured into a pint glass. Poured an orange bronze with a decent off white head. Doesn’t smell of much, but cheap malt. Tastes of doughy malt and raisin. No hops that I can detect. Not really a bock. It has some Bock like qualities, but weaker and simpler.

Pours a dark reddish amber color, with a thin tan head. Had this on draft. Taste of coffee, caramel malts. Finishes easy, No real aftertaste.

Nothing that exciting, i dont wanna use the word bland because i think that that sells it short. really plesant nutty roastness to it, pours dark brown. you can def do a lot worse

Medium carbonation. Mild caramel taste. This is a good, nothing-special beer.

Beautiful amber color. Not very hoppy, much more of a Malty taste. As far as mainstream American beers go, this is one of the best. It’s a mild beer.

Clear light brown color/ tan head. Mild caramel, bready aromas. medium body. Caramel, bready flavors with aged malts..

Nothing truly offensive about this beer, however, there’s nothing very good about this beer either. The whole is experience is ’meh’ - tastes watered down. There is a mild sweetness & an off tasting funkiness. Nothing special.

Lacks depth and complexity for a true bock beer. Not bad as a transitional beer for the BMC drinker. Odd corn-like DMS aroma and flavor. Finishes sweet, however lacks ideal malt character and richness. Toast and butterscotch in the nose. Again, not bad for what it is.
