VegDisc41 (42), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Jun 19, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber with whitish head. Not much in the nose but some hop and malt. Tastes rather bland for the style. Quietman (160), Florida, USA Jun 19, 2007 Bottle.Dark amber.Off-white head.Some malt sweetness offset by a slight bitterness.Light bodied.Not bad. brew4fun (167), West Virginia, USA Jun 14, 2007 12oz. bottle. Pours reddish copper with short-lasting thin off-white head. Aroma mildly spicy. Taste is a surprise - sour bitterness grabs the attention upfront, which moderates after a couple sips. Thin body, very dry finish. Taste of dark malt and spices. Not bad, but I’ll pass on this one in the future. andco924 (15), Millbrook, Alabama, USA Jun 13, 2007 A true grit Texas beer from a small American brewery in the tradition of Yuengling, Lonestar, Pearl, Olympia, etc. This beer costs roughly $5.99 a sixer and packs big taste and malty flavor for the price! lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA Jun 13, 2007 on tap. not to much to say about this one pours a caramel color with a thin white head and a touch of lacing. fairly carbonated with aroma of faint caramel, hops, and malt. flavor is the same as aroma with a little skunk to both. also has a light body, kind of a bad beer actually. charcot25 (181), Cordova, Tennessee, USA Jun 13, 2007 12 oz bottle into a pilsener glass. Pours with a deep red to brown body and rapidly diminishing light tan head. Aroma of DMS (cooked vegetables). Tastes of veggies again and a subtle maltiness with just enough bitterness to keep it from being sweet. No real hop aroma or flavor that I detected. BeerBelcher (930), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 1, 2007 It had been perhaps 10 years since I last had this beer...which was a few years before I knew anything about beer. And while it was once a trade-up for me, it is no more. This bock is more like a mainstream lager than any other bock I’ve tasted. Aroma of this beer was of corn rather than malt, and its appearance was a pleasing clear red-brown with a minimal amount of head. Flavor was pretty lack-luster...not as corn-y as the aroma, but still not very malty for a bock. Mouthfeel was unremarkable, but I have a hard time imagining drinking more than 2-3 of these...not because they were flavored extremely strongly or because it is high in alcohol, but just because drinking it kind of made me want something else. BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA May 30, 2007 once again i had some interestng comments pertaining to this bock beer. as you can notice this is just a decent bock. unfortunately i had not signed in and when i did and went back my comments were lost forever. but alas i am grateful to the ratebeer site and the good people within it. ratebeer forever!
