2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Brown colour with a red centre. Not much on the nose...a little earth. This is an extremely light beer. Distinct taste of water throughout the mouth....very light hops and a whisper of roasted malt. I really wish just about everything was just a little intensified. Then this might be a real winner.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured clear brown with a white head. Nice light malts. Pleasantly surprised, as it is not too sweet and has a smooth finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: NOV 25, 2009 nice Golden Brown with little aroma, lightly carbonated. Overall generally crisp with lots of toasty malts, light amount of hoppiness and a fairly clean finish. flavor has notes of cereal and caramel. A good all around beer, the kind where you could drink 3 or 4 or more. could also be a good summer beer.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
MUCH better than Lone Star, this should reign as the official beer of Texas. Not a great beer, but more complex than some others.
Dark caramel color with a tannish head. Simple straightforward malt flavor. Worth a six-pack, not quite a case.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a reddish amber colour with a small white head. Aroma of toffee, malt, sweet candy-ish notes, apples, wine notes as well. Palate is lighter than I would expect with the colour and pretty thin. Tastes of toffee, apples, a little bitter hops, fairly malty, fairly mediocre.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Pours a brown color with a two finger head. Aroma is malt. Taste is not very good. Not a whole lot there. Not worth the price.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Poured Dark red brown with a small head and no lacing. Aroma is grassy and slightly malty, like a lager. Thin flavour with some slight caramel note. Slight but lingering finish, with a bit of bitterness. The previous rater is right, this is not a bock, this a dark lager, better than most industrial lagers, but this is not a bock.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap. Pours a dark amber with a modest beige head and some great lacing. Aroma is incredibly sweet with whiffs of toffee and caramel. Taste is a little watery and similar to Yuengling albeit a bit heavier- very much like artificial maple syrup. Long, sweet aftertaste. Not offensive, smooth and drinkable. But this is not a bock.
