DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 6, 2004 Pours dark straw, with medium head. Aroma of malt, toffee, hops, and floral/fruitiness. Tastes firm, but slightly light on mouthfeel, with a malty, fruity, slightly hoppy finish. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Jul 2, 2004 Quite pale, a light, clear copper-gold. Nose a bit off, some malts, but something unpleasant lurks. Flavor is somewhat bland, a bit sweet with some caramel. Kind of boring. grat (433), ST. Louis, Missouri, USA Jun 28, 2004 Hmmm... I don’t know what to thiunk about this one. I was expecting something darker. This brew, however, poured a really pale color...perhaps like a pale bock??? I don’t know. Regardless not bad but not really much to write home about...especially from a micro. Golden color nice white head that dies easily. Nose of lager yeast and slight malt character. Great palate for a beer of this color. Excellently round on the tongue. Notes of water, malt, yeast and hops...hmmm thats about it. Pass it by.
Grat JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA Jun 27, 2004 Bright yellow with a thin white head. Skunky, lightstruck nose. Grainy, gritty and otherwise tasteless. Nothing bock about this one. Another thumbs down for abita. Kevin (1917), Colorado, USA Jun 26, 2004 Bottle. pours a deep yellow color with a thick white head.aroma is fruity and slightly yeasty. taste is sweet with a slight malt undertone. needs more malt taste. this isn’t bad, but it coulkd be better. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jun 17, 2004 Clear amber body with fairly large off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, grainy, some alcohol, light cherry. Taste is mild up top, before turning fairly sweet, caramel, alcohol. Light astringency in the finish. Medium-full body, some acidity. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA Jun 15, 2004 Gotta top off the evening with a bock.Nice amber color,small off white ehad that faded quickly and left little behind.The aroma was Malty with a mild fruity presence maybe some spice but hard to say it could just be a bit peppery.Mild hops and little more.Malty taste with a slight hint of alcohol and fruit and the hops managed to get away without much of a showing.The spicy side did show but only mildly.Not bad but definatley could use some more work. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA May 27, 2004 This bottled marked best before 6/17 did not state what year it was bottled int? This brew poured a large sized head of fine to large sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body was a carbonated transparent orange brown color. The aroma was malty and not bock like. The mouth feel had a medium tingle that smoothened in the finish. Its sweet and malty flavor went down easily.
