Found this rating in an old book from June/03! Malty nose, light copper, a small cream coloured head. Flavour has fruited malt, almost sour tasting, trace of bitterness. Very full bodied, given that it’s 6.2%, quite a dry finish. Intriquing little example.

In bottle. Thought it was a little light in the body compared to the various German versions I’ve tried. A little drier (not as sweet) as well. A bit more of the "bock" body would help this beer.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a very slight hazy golden color with a one finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma is caramel malt and light esters. Flavor is toasted malt and light esters. Has a slight bitter palate. Medium body. A decent Bock. Thanks Wendy and Bill.

Amber in color with small white head. Caramel and fruity nose. Flavor is big and sweet up front with heavy hint of carmalied sugar. Just a touch of hop, and finish is clean.

Pours a slightly hazy deep golden color with a small white head. Aroma of honey melon, candied malts, cotton candy, caramel and dry fruits. Taste of candied sugar, sweet malts, melon, honey, with a hoppy finish. Very nice summer brew.

(Tap) Pours a light amber color with a foamy white head. Aroma is of dried fruits and sweet caramel. Taste is slightly hoppy, with some earthy notes as well. This is a pretty good beer. A little more body could really add to this beer through.

There was a light haze to this beer’s coppery/amber body under a small yet compact off-white head. Malts in the aroma are pleasantly caramelized with a hint of flora and a finish of grasses. Palate provides a rather silky mouthfeel despite it being somewhat flat. Alcohol is a little forward in flavor. A malted sweetness lasts despite a grassy hop finish along with a peaty note that hints towards whisky.

Decent looking beer. Soft caramel malts are prominent, with a bit of candy sugar. Very smooth and sweet. Medium bodied, with minor fruit notes like apple and cherry. There is a bit of spiciness toward the end, which may be the hops poking their heads out. Overall easy to drink and smooth. Good session beer. Capital never lets me down.
