Bottle 500 ml ?
Appearance: Light amber with medium creamy, stiff top. Nose : Mild sweetness of golden malt with soft aromatic hop. 6+ Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied, perhaps a bit this for bock. Mashed malty base, grainy, wholesome with gentle hopping. Quiet simple approach, old straight school. This time that worked, straight drinkable bock. Nicely done gentlemen!

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 WallyWalrus (205) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - APR 7, 2008
16oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with good effervescence and a healthy off-white head. Aroma hits you from a mile away -- heavy on the floral hops with some added hints of yeast, malt, and light spices. Taste is deceptively full and smooth, with a honey-like initial flavor giving way to a long, smooth finish of malt, yeast, and perhaps a bit of molasses. I can’t help but wonder about the widely differing reviews and characterizations of this brew, but I’m a big fan of the one in my hand -- rich and full in character, but light and refreshing in flavor.

Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors, 16 oz bottle. Dark orange pour, medium thick white head, brief bit of lacing. Aroma of molasses and brown sugar. Sweet flavor dominated by molasses, baked brown bread and cotton candy - maple syrup in the back end. Thickish mouthfeel - good winter warmer qualities.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 cblado (189) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 25, 2008
On tap at the UWM Gasthaus. Thin, off-white head, had a clear amber color. Faint aroma of malt. Flavor is similarly malty, slightly buttery, with a bit of a spicy note (coriander?) Dominated by alcohol flavor. Mouthfeel is decent, on the thin side. but it goes down well. Kind of a tame beer.

Bottle from the brewery. Amber body with with medium, fizzy short lasting head. Aroma of yeast, fresh noble hops, pleasant. Yeasty flavor, with subtle caramel, large fresh noble hops, very drinkable. Medium creamy body. A very nice sessionable lager, reminds me a lot of Beersel Blond.
