Apr 18, 2008 Pours light bronze with a soapy sudsy tan head. The aroma is butter and rich with butterscotch and caramel. Medium / light body that is too crisp and biting for a bock as well as having harsh biting carbonation. The taste has caramel and butter of the aroma, but is very medicinal and tinny. This is not a beer for me.

Apr 17, 2008 Light amber with mammoth tan slowly diminishing head. Aroma of caramel malt, mixed fruit and spice. Taste mainly malty with notes of caramel, fruit and has a mild sugary/fruity finish. A little thin, but not too bad.

Mar 31, 2008 Bottle at Extreme Beerfest 2008 (Crescent Moon): Flavor is not really like a Bock. Watery and thin body. Golden color with a decent head.

Mar 30, 2008 Good yellow-orange head over orange-foxy beer. Little chocolatey, point of ureum in the nose, whiff of hops, and precious little sugars for a Bock... Bit leafy, even grassy. Bitter chocolate, harsh hops dominate more chocolatey malts. Not very refined. Unripe banana peel, bit of orange flavour. Rainwater quality, soft water, but not watery; slick. Harsh-hoppy. No German Bock ever had half this amount of iso-alpha’s. Better choice of hops might have made this succeed on its own merits. Thanks to Dave A.

Mar 27, 2008 Pours a golden amber with a thin off-white head. Light aromas of caramel, bubble gum malt and some dough. Flavor of caramel and toasted malt and some honey. Thin mouthfeel. This is a gateway bock.

Mar 24, 2008 Oh yeah, good stuff. Big sweaty corn and sharp, dried wheat and barley nose. Crisp, moderately hoppy, a bit sharp, but also very fresh and mildly sweet with a bit of honey flavor, just what you want in a maibock. It’s nothing great, but it’s nothing terrible either, and these days I’m in a maibock mood.
