| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 13, 2008 A serious yet easy-going and refreshing bock. Pours a nice, pale gold with diminishing head. Dryish, grassy nose with some corny malts and light hops. Flavor has only a touch of corny sweetness before a nice rolling-in of dry, mild bitterness. Balanced. Light bitterness in finish in aftertaste. Quack-Duck (3274), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Draft. An orange beer with a dense white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with quite strong notes of alcohol, combined with a note of caramel. The body is quite thick, and the alcohol bites in the tongue. MoritzF (4995), Bochum, Germany
