Bottle... Clear, yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. Very good retention. Earthy, floral aroma with light accents of citrus and toffee. Fruity, malty flavor with toffee and mild bitterness. Hints of caramel and spicy hops... very subtle. Medium-bodied and velvety with medium carbonation. Finishes bittersweet.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and gold color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel/grain. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel/grain, secondary metallic hops, pepper, alcohol. OK/mild carbonation.

Pours dark copper with a tan head. Smells of caramel, some rosey hints, floral, earthy, some spicy hints. Tastes of toasted malt, some light fruity hints, sryuppy. Strange beer.

Pale amber/gold beer. Aroma is fairly malty. Light sweetness. A little bit earthy and chewy with a fairly clean character. Fairly clean maltiness with a bit of light hoppiness. It’s a decent, non-offensive heller bock.

Golden amber color with a moderate off-white head. Earthy malt and floral hops scents. Not a big nose, rather light and unassuming. Lacks malt depth and hops character. Lots of caramel flavors in the front. Some light toasted malt and darker malt qualities in the middle. Darker malt qualities are those that a brew uses to cover the fact that they are doing little to create a real bock in which decoctions are utilized to create a full malt flavor.Rant over. Another American bock. Toss in some darker malt and say that it’s the bottom of the barrel.

Bottle from sampler set from Kroger. Poured clear copper color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Average balanced hop and malt aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of average duration. Drinkable beer.

Bottle from Super Saver. Gold pour with some fruit, bready malt, and citrus aromas. Flavor is crisp and sweet up front, with fruit, getting tarter as it warms, with a more pronounced citrus presence.
