COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Early German monks created “bock” beer as a hearty beverage that would help sustain them during their Lenten fasts. The first bock beers were dark, but soon came “blonder” styles such as maibock. Maibocks have a rich, malty, full flavor. And, since our first brewhouse was from Heimertingen in Bavaria, we’ve honored that heritage by giving the name to our first lager beer.“Bock,” by the way, is German for “male goat.” It doesn’t make sense to us either.

From tap. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Aroma is hay and corn. Flavour is corn, soft malty with a slight sweetness. Bittersweet finish. OK maibock but doesn’t really match the original German ones.

jcwattsrugger (8685) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - MAY 21, 2009
12 oz bottle–pours a foamy off white head and gold color. Aroma is lemon, Euro-skunk, light malt-bready, yeast. Taste is sweet light malt, slight bitter-herbal/spice hops, alcohol. Lots of effervescence. Not clean as a bock style lager should be. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAY 16, 2009
Bottle... Clear golden lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Sweet aroma of honey and white pepper – a touch medicinal. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Leans just a hair toward the bitter side of balance... moderate sweetness; medium bitterness. Sticky, bittersweet finish.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 9, 2007
On tap. Poured a light to medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of bread, grass, grain and a little fruity. Tastes of bread, grass, and the same light fruitiness. Thinner body. Overall boring for my tastes.

Tmoney99 (6892) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 29, 2006
Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with an average frothy white head that slowly diminished. Average sweet malty aroma. Medium body. Good sweet malty flavor with a medium hoppy finish. Drinkable but a little sweet.
