pours clear and quite red with an off white head and some spotty lacing. i am starting to see a trend in the aroma of these brews... creamy caramel, flowers and malt. they all share a distinct house flavor and smell... the flavor follows suit... quite sweet maltiness, some fruit perhaps citrus, flowers and a mildly dry finish. medium bodied. 6/3/6/3/12/3.0

Amber body with a fine particled off-white head. Malty, mostly caramel aroma. Quite malty with lots of caramel and nice hop backing. Medium body with a long finish.

Deep clear reddish orange, fizzy lasting white head. Somewhat floral with additional malty notes of caramel and toffee in the nose. Flavor is semi-sweet malty, fruity, with shots of caramel. Light citric hops make an appearance to round it out. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, nice balanced finish. If you’re there and its on tap, absolutely worth a try.

Not a bad bock to drink, but it seems to be wandering between styles. Is it an Irish red? Is it a bock?

This beer rocks! Crystal clear orange hue. Creamy, mostly lasting ivory head. No lacing. Very malty and sweet aroma. Huge notes of orange blossom honey. Fruity and lightly floral. The flavor is of sweet malt up front with bursts of English toffee, caramel and very light sourgham molasses. A tad yeasty as well. Moderately bitter and very lightly acidic hop presence on the backside. Medium-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Long, well-balanced, lightly bitter finish. World Class Bock! I'm heading back to try more beers at this very promising brewery/restaurant. They seem to specialize in German and Belgian style beers.
