Tripplebrew (285), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 1, 2008 Pours a clear copper with little head just a bit of white. Aroma is definite caramel. Flavor is caramel and hops. Body is light with fair carbonation but still fairly light. jbuzz (513), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Oct 1, 2008 Nice Full and sort of sweet Bock. not the best but drinkable. Nice color and head. CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Sep 29, 2008 Pours a transparent bright copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty, grainy German malts and some caramel toffee with a touch of lager yeast character. Body starts with good fullness and sweet malty notes balanced with a crisp noble hoppiness and some mild oxidation before a smooth, bittersweet finish. A pretty true to style and drinkable heller bock. phishpond417 (1459), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 21, 2008 Pours a clear orange-golden colour with a off white malty head. Sized up next to other maibocks- i’d say this was on the lighter side, that’s why my rating might be a little lower. Aroma is nice, almonds, goats, and toffee. Mouthfeel is very full and creamy flavors are semi sweet and malty. Brewmaster1 (9), Westchester, USA does not count Jul 17, 2008 I wish there was a rating for price/quality. I have family who lives in Stevens Point and Point beer is even cheaper there then here in Chicago. I don’t buy a Point brew and expect a killer top of the line beer. I expect a solid beer for the price. In my opinion Point makes some of the best beer for the price. The prices are similiar to MGD and Bud, but is sooo much better. They give you variety on a budget. Bars in Stevens point will sell bottles of Point beer for $1 on specials, and to me that is a GREAT deal. Point continues to crank out some of the best budget beer in the country. They always put out a GOOD beer at a great price. I paid $5 for a six pack of this beer and it was exactly what I expected. GOOD taste for the price. Not a beer I would buy all the time but it is a beer I would buy to change things up every so often. Being a college student who likes a beer that isn’t dirt cheap and crappy, Point offers me a solid beer at a solid price. Keep up the good work Point.
