Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock

Brewed by Gordon Biersch Brewing Company
Style: Heller Bock
Palo Alto, California USA

Was not sure what to expect with a blonde bock, expected something a bit lighter, alcohol content high and noticeable.

Looks like a standard lager, not like a bock. I guess that is why it’s a "blond bock." Grainy type flavor with some slight bitterness on the end. Malty and sweet. Drinkable but uninspiring. Carbonated nicely with a solid mouthfeel though.

Esther: Decu!!! l arome est le apparence me promettait une biere riche au gout profond, malheureusement apres l avoir gouter j ai la rack et je ne veut plus jamais l boire par contre elle est bonne pour la pate a beignet. Juju Decu est le mot juste une biere qui s annoncer avec son apparence et une arome plus qu agreable qui m est plus qu evocateur le gout de tabac a pipe ... jadore.... mais hellas aucun gout voir flotte, plus leger acide un gout limite desagreable, 7% alcohol bien remarker mais trellement decu par son gout/arome que finalement ====>NON 5.50 a safeway (prix carte plus special) pour pack de 6 il nous reste une autre gordon biersch a gouter je mattend a tout.... resultats bientot

Medium yellow color; Head died a quick death. Very nice, aggressive body. Nice alcohol kick- much appreciated.

Re-rate: The original was way too high. I think this is worse than just about all the rest of their beers I’ve had. Very noticeable alcohol, not discernibly likeable flavors. Stay away.

Mai bock? Cloying. Sweetness and overly syrupy. Light gold pour. Missing something.

typical GB flavoring...malt always winning the headstrong psuedo german battle. this one has a sprinkle of the fruit hopness up the nose and on the palate but barely enought to mension. crisp in dry on the palate. not crazy about these beers.

Bottle poured a light orange amber with a good head. Aroma is light malt, fruit and a touch of hops. Flavor is light hops and just a bit malty. This is a well ballanced, refreshing summer beer.
