Mar 21, 2008 12oz. brown bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a clear amber/gold with plenty of carbonation. Bright noble hop aroma, malt comes in as it warms. Light to medium body. Malt dominates, but it is pretty subdued. Caramel sweetness, balanced with noble hops in the middle. Very drinkable, but a little thin for the style which seems to be typical of American bocks.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottled. Poured brilliant translucent lighter orange with very little sticking around for head. The aroma picked up sweeter caramel with accents of rubbing alcohol.. warmth brought out some dry straw-like notes, but this wasn’t very complex. The flavor was along those same lines.. lightly-smoked, alcohol-laced caramel at the core with some herbal and medicinal bitterness around the edges.. short, brighter finish with toffee and a little darker fruit joining in. Medium-bodied and slick on the palate with low carbonation.. felt stronger than it probably should have.

Mar 18, 2008 Pours a amberish golden color. Head is fairly foamy with a brownish golden tint. Smells yeasty and a little sweet with a small hopy citrus note. Taste is somewhat sweet with a good malty content that makes the beer very enjoyable.

Mar 8, 2008 Pour is a bright copper with a small white head. Aroma is doughy and caramel but very thin. Flavor is quite thin as well with some roasted malts and a small amount of grain. Bland and boring.

Feb 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Tap at Old Chicago Minnetonka. Pint pours medium amber with a small head and no lace. The aroma is light malt. The flavor is all malt and alcohol with a lingering sweetness. The palate is quite to style. Overall, not offensive. Served way too cold. It starts to unveil a lingering Cheerios thing as it warms, so ask for it cold.

Feb 27, 2008 12oz bottle. pours clear golden with white head. nose is pretty decent, soft biscuit with toasted biscuit, and leathery hop notes. flavor is just too sweet for this be solid, biscuity, toffee, and grainy. watery, and too sweet for it to be sessionable.

Feb 21, 2008 On tap at Murphy’s on the U of Illinois campus. They had a total of 5 beers on tap from Point and this was definitely the best of the bunch. Clear amber colored pour, caramel and honey aroma and flavor. Some slight hints of roasted malt lurking around as well. Enjoyable and sessionable beer (and at $1.50 a pint, I had a nice little session with it!).
