Nov 28, 2007 Tastes of fermented cardboard. Has no character worth describing. Doesn’t taste like a bock.

Nov 18, 2007 Poured the color of ice tea with no lacing on glass. Forgoes any attempt at hops with focus on malt - sweet, a little on the fizzy side. I think this is in the same class as those ’craft’ brews from Michelob - just a notch above. Very drinkable - won’t ever be mistaken for a German Bock - but, then again, not priced like one either. Something for someone looking for just a bit more than the standard American lager.

Nov 12, 2007 Bottle at Lobo. Poured a dark amber with a thin head. Sweet cereal aroma, with some honey, grass and a slight sourness. Flavor of off-sweet honeyed cereal malts with a slightly citric, metallic and/or carbonic thing going on. Maybe some grassy hops underneath. Fizzy body which waters out quickly. Generally boring malty lager.

Nov 8, 2007 Bottle. Shiny brown color. Smooth and unimpressive, yet satisfying. This is a bock? Really?

Nov 2, 2007 Updated: May 15, 2008Dark brown,but translucent color. Small head, little lacing. Very malty flavor. Strong aftertaste, of wood/charcoal. A middle of the road beer but erring a little on the weak side.

The hefeweizen was certainly not enviable, but at least drinkable. More than I can say for this one. Oxidized, with diacetyl and an extremely lacking malt character. Force carbonated, filtered appearance is a clear mahogany with a steadily decaying beige head.
Stale would be the best word to describe it, as the aroma and flavor arent really offensive, so much as they are boring and unbeer-like. Old, dried out brown bread in the nose, with a touch of dark fruits if you stretch your imagination. Vanillin and wax crayons, etc, etc...
Scratchy, washed out "malts" are minimal in flavor, leaving some light butter and hints of vanilla-like sugars in their place, on the finish, which is too fizzy. Horrible amounts of oxidation, waxiness/paperiness/popcorn-likeness.
