Draught at Hagges Bärsklubb, Nynäshamn, Sweden. Golden colour, small head. Buttery malt aroma. Dry with deep, firm gemtle maltiness. Grassy and strikingly hoppy with lingering very bitter finish. An excellent bock!

hazy blond coloured with a firm and quite long lasting off-white foam; malty aroma with aromatic notes of oranges, herbs and a touch of alcohol; full-bodied, strong and bitter/sweet; some residual sugars in a long malty and fruity (oranges again) aftertaste; long warming alcohol touch - a beautiful, very balanced bock

Draught, Abseits. Gloriously unfiltered tan with a massive head. Fresh, herbal and bready, and a fair bit yeasty - a nice, complex aroma. Big fresh malts with lots of yeast and a faint spicy hop character. Excellent bock.

Draft @ Cafe Abseits. Hazy yeasty honey, like natural honey color with stable head. Fun and healthy yeast aroma is fruity and floral, a fun bouquet. Nice thick palate is slightly granular. Well-spiced with delightful hop finish. Why can’t more pale bocks be so nicely hopped like this?

Thanks Gerhard for this bottle! Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a large white head. Smell is caramel, fruit, cereal. Taste is begins like the aroma which is sweet then in the middle it turns crisp with fruity hops ending dry. There is a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste as well but not severe. Body is medium and luxuriously carbonated. A nice treat for sure.

Bottle (Abseits, BA): Hazy, small stable off-white head, golden, moderate to solid hoppy-worty nose with a malty touch; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, very soft; lingering hoppy-malty finish. Very good, very well balanced franconian Bock.......

Bottle at brewery, thick yellow orange pour. Sweet malts, orange marmalade, nice dose of bitterness. Full mouthfeel. Very nice bock

Bottle. Golden color, hazy, with minuscule chunks of yeast. Malt and peach. Malty, but with a firm flowery and earthy hop character. Citrus and pineapple. Almost full bodied. Long hopbitter aftertaste. Great bock!

Golden with a small white head. Aroma of hay, fresh cereal, and herbal hops, with a hint of fruit. Sweetish malty flavour with notable alcohol. Mild hoppy finish

Ungewöhnlich hopfiger Antrunk, deutliche Herbenoten sind ebenfalls präsent. Hellmalzig getreidig, weiterhin sehr hopfig, vollmundig. Die Würzigkeit bleibt konstant, die Aromen können sich aber nicht durchgehen entwickeln, da die Herbe immer wieder dazwischenfunkt. Hopfiger, fast etwas penetranterAbgang, der ansonsten stimmig ist. Ein harmonischer Bock, der sich von anderen abhebt!
