Dundee Pale Bock Lager

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Heller Bock
Rochester, New York USA

Great aroma. I had my nose stuck in the glass more often than drinking. Palate was not as impressive as the aroma and that’s where this beer lost me.

This bock lost some of its head when I opened the bottle. The pour was clear and golden. Seemed to have a good balance of maltiness and hoppiness without a bitter finish. The body seemed seemed a bit light on the palate to me. Before I complain that the beer is not very complex and a bit light for a bock, I need to remember that this craft pack scores at under a dolla a bottle. Maybe this beer needs to move up on some value rating.

12oz. bottle. Decent barley aroma. Golden body with white head. Barley and roaste malts with a medium bittering was a good flavor for me. Leaves a roated toasted grain on the palate a decent brew.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a slightly hazy wheat-colored body topped by a small head of white foam. Nose is malts with a slight citrus sharpness. Medium mouthfeel with a bittersweet touch overall. Palate has a roasted flavor which overcomes the malts’ sweetness, without any hops aftertaste.

Found this in a multi-pack, bottled at the Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, dark golden pour with a lacy white head that dissipated rapidly, malty, apply nose and a mushy fruitiness. Mild finish. A decent beer from one of my favorite medium-size brewers.

My soft spot for the old Genesee brewery has not waned. Dundees Pale Bock Lager was part of a sampler case. Medium bitterness, doughy malt, and caramel sweetness. Craft macro considering the price and brewery its a well done Heller Bock.

12oz bottle. Medium golden color with minimal head retention. Very sweet and malty nose, flavor and finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear orange with a large white head. Aroma is caramel with some flowery hops too. Flavor is malts and caramel with a slight bitter finish. Drinkable.
