Bottle shared with barrios at woody’s courtesy of our beer rep. Thanks Jonathan! Pours a clear golden amber with minimal ring of white head. Aroma of light butter and grain, and corn adjuncts. Flavor is corny, and biscuity with hints of caramel. Not bad, just kinda boring. This strikes me as a Budwieser with a heavier grain bill and thicker palate. But certainly a good easy drinker for mardi gras!

Pours a medium brown with an aroma of malts, caramel and sour fruit. Taste was malty with a bitter finish. Nothing spectacular but it washed down some pretty spicy cajun food so it had an upside.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Big malty content, caramel, grain, light fruity esters and some unrefined sugars. Decent.

Hazy amber with medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with fruity and sourish notes. Sweet flavor with toasted malt, caramel, ripe fruits and yeasty notes. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.

12 oz. Burnt orange with a small lasting head that leaves some nice lacing. Grain and sour apple aroma. Flavors of molasses, sour apple candy, grain, dry grass and alcohol. Light-medium body is mildy carbonated and finishes dryish.

Bottle. Grainy, mashy, sweet, yeasty, dusty, mostly pale malt nose.Deep orange pour with a pretty, creamy beige head. Some purple grape and booze showing in the taste, otherwise yeast and sweet malt, a touch of candy and caramel but finishing a bit too grainy. Medium body with some mint. Eh.

Pours dark golden with mostly receding wispy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, light caramel, cookie. Taste is malty, toasted bread, sweet wort, earthy malt. Mouthfeel is full bodied with moderate carbonation. I find many bocks too sweet for my taste, but I think this beer does a good job in that regard.

Poured a nice amber color with a couple of fingers of head. Not much lacing though as the head dropped. Slightly cloudy. Nice malt smell and taste. Just a slight hops bitterness in aftertaste. Easy to drink and I would not have guessed the ABV at over 6, although the alcohol came out just a bit on the final drink after it warmed.
