| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 6, 2005 My bottle, purchased fresh just before Christmas 2004, looked like the regular Stiegl bottle and read "Stiegl Columbus Original Bock." The abv was the same. It pours a golden color with a slight head that soon haloes the glass. It’s got a mild sweet malt aroma. Medium-bodied with caramel malt flavoring, it has a nice snappy hop counterbalance. Not a bad drink, but really not what I think of when I hear "bock." hotstuff (3183), Indiana, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 24, 2003 The Rathskeller Wine & Beer Fest:A small sized head with fine sized bubbles.The body was clear with very little carbonation observed.The hue was pale yellow and the nose was somewhat earthy along with a hint of malt.The flavor was hoppy along with an aftertaste and the mouthfeel was tingly on my tongue and medium bodied.There was virtually no lacing with this beer.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 31, 2003 Kind of blah, malty but not overly sweet. The hops are there in the nose and taste but are mostly dominated by malts. Amber/ruby in colour thin to medium head, medium body and somewhat bitter finish.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 10, 2008 Bottle from State Line. Pours turbid dark straw/orangy with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is pale malt, citrus, honey, mild vegetals. Tastes of pale malt, honey, hops, and some tannins. Not a repeater for me. Strykzone (1507), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 19, 2008 Golden amber pour with a tiny head that lasts only seconds. Carbonation doesn’t last any longer. Aroma is sweet floral fruit. Candy sugar flavor with some fruit and alcohol. Too sweet, and I like a sweeter beer. Perhaps this is a better cool weather beer. Surprised that it is rated at 3.3 and not lower. Hansen (2357), Randers, Denmark
