Bottle from Belmont Party. Clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate wheat malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. my expectations where met.

2/27/2007: Wooden Shoe Bock pours a deep golden/light amber color (a few shades darker than the Wooden Shoe Lager). It has a small diminishing crown, no lacing, and a moderate level of carbonation. An understated malt aroma masks a deeper aroma that has slight alcohol and faint hop notes. A sweet, malty, and slightly fruity flavor graces the tastebuds. This beer has a stronger alcohol presence, but it is well integrated and adds to the overall flavor (it isn’t and astringent/burning alcohol presence). It finishes dry (much dryer than the Wooden Show Lager). Medium-full body. The Wooden Shoe Bock is another good lager beer. I really am surprised and impressed with the new Wooden Shoe offerings. The Bock is slightly more flavorful than the Lager, but it’s kind of a toss up between the two as to which is better. I could drink bottle after bottle of the Lager, but probably only one or two (at the most) of the Bock in a sitting. Either way, I’m glad that these enjoyable and affordable beers have come back onto the market.

Bottle courtesy of alexsdad06. Pours copper with a dissipating white head. Smells of biscuits and fruit. Tastes of caramel with some sweet malt. Mouthfeel is full with a spicy finish.

Courtesy Amy. An...interesting beer. Very fruity, with some berry and melon notes, also biscuity malt. Did not notice much alcohol flavor. Definitely sweet witha sticky finish. I can’t quite decide if I like the flavor combination or not.

Clear honey-colored beer, with a fizzy, short-lived head - aroma of honey, wildflowers, aromatic hops, a little bit of dough - starts off a bit sweet and herbal, like sweetened herbal tea - a bit of hops and flowers arrive afterwards - a mild nutty flavor - gets a little spicy at the end - thins out a little in the finish, so the sweetness becomes a bit much - a decent maibock, though - certainly under-rated.
