This just tasted a mess to me. Not a fan. It has a funky sweaty aroma with a bit of caramel, toffee, and bread. A clear golden beer with an off white head, it tastes thick and sweet with caramel and toffee flavors. Not very balanced or with much complexity, its just a sweet, syrupy mess. Oh well, its better than some beers, I just won’t revisit this one.

Location: We have a bunch of these in the metro DC area, I think I’ve prob been to 3 of them, including the one in "Downtown Rockville" that I visit pretty often, I’ve had this one on tap there (but only once)

Overall Impression: I’m not a huge Blonde fan in general, and this one was pretty much what I expected. For the style this one is right in line, some sweet malty fruitiness, relatively boring...

12 oz bottle. Clear yellow amber pour with white head. Fruity sweet and malt on the nose. Hints of hops and... Taste is same. Not bad, but nothing special. Drinkable.

Pours brilliantly clear deep gold with decent white head. The mild aroma seems corn like with a bit of grainy malts to go along with some malts sweetness and floral hops. The taste is much the same starting with a slight bitter hop bite, grainy malts and a sense of corn. It then develops a mild sweet fruity ester component just as the floral hop flavor becomes noticeable.

I wonder: do I not like bocks, or is it that I haven’t had a very good one yet? This is decent... pours a darker clear gold with a quickly disappearing head. Sweet, corny, slightly grainy nose. Not exciting. Taste has some more sweetness and the taste of fresh raw corn. Interesting. Very mild fruit and hops. Metallic and sweet cereal notes on the finish. Decently dry palate, though. Meh. Not bad.

bottle. Clear goldish blonde body with fizzy head. Light malts, grass, skunk, DMS, butter. Flavor was sweet, then followed by gasoline soaked garbage. And some soured cream corn.

Bottle. Pours with a fading off-white head over a clear golden body. Aroma is not great. Alcohol peaks through with notes of DMS (cooked corn), diacetyl (butter), grassy, light struck and cereally. Taste is buttery, grainy, and slightly astringent. Very disconnected. Fizzy and dry.
