An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sour, malt, and hops. The flavor is sweet malt, caramel, and somewhat flat.

75 cL bottle. Pours cloudy to hazy orange with a creamy off-white head. Mild spiced hoppy aroma. Smooth caramel malty and mixed with a nice bitterness. Smooth hoppy and mild flavour with a medium dry yet also mild creamy/mellow yeasty touch into the finish.

Bottle, 6.2%. Weak farty aroma. Hazy orange colour. The flavour is quite malty with some fruit and berry notes. Raspberry and strawberry finish.

Beautiful color, red - amber, hazy, with a thick and generous creamy head. Nice aroma, of malt and some hop; perfumy; some alcohol too. Good mouthfeel, solid; sweet malt stickyness; it has a very good mix of malt, caramel, hop, with a touch of vanilla, honey and wood, dynamic; getting warmer, a powerful malt releases all its flavor, smashing the tastebuds. High bitterness level. It seems to be more powerful than the 6.2% would suggest; overall it’s softer, more round and more malty than a classic Bock; take your time to warm this incredible brew (at least 30 minutes), and you will be rewarded with a world class beer. Amazing.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Aroma of malt, very good hopping, a bit fruity; persistent. Full body, well malty, some sweetness, caramel, warming, correctly bitter.
Excellent!

Amber colour, beautiful head. Light aroma, malt, yeast. Alcohol. Good body, smooth, lightly sweet, malty, then more equilibrated; candy sugar, light caramel; final more hoppy and dry. Nice palate, hoppy and aromatic.

Thank to Lorenzo Dabove for sharing this bottle. Strong buttery aroma and flavor. Caramel and hops. Just a hint of sourness. Lychee fruit. This is not a standard bock beer by any means.
