Commercial Description:
Point Einbock is an authentic Maibock Style Lager. There are many stories as to how Bock beers were named. Some assert the origins date back to the north-German town of Einbeck. Others maintain that "bock," the German word for "goat," relates to the "kick" of some bock beers. This seasonal Bock beer, offered only during the Spring, is hand-crafted utilizing the finest Munich and Vienna styles of specialty malts with a blend of Bavarian Hallertauer hops. With a German translation of "One-Bock," Point Einbock is one Bock you are sure to enjoy.

Pours a bright golden orange body with a sustained off-white head. Light aroma of sweet grainy malt, lightly toasted, and, alas, a splash of mineral water. The latter disappears from the flavor and is replaced by a moderate floral/grassy bitterness that keeps the sweet malts in check. Actually, a fairly decent drink if, perhaps, a bit lightweight for a bock.

Very solid for such a cheap beer. Light amber color and lots of bubbles. Mild caramel aroma. A little sweet, with some grain and a little alcohol. Moderate hops as well.

In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. Pours dark gold with a white head. Has the aroma of saltine crackers. This is very tasty for a Point beer, but lousy for a helles bock. It does have some interesting toffee flavors.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of joeybgood. Pours a crystal clear copper color with a disappearing small beige head. The aroma is mildly sweet caramel, toasted grainy malts, and light corn. The flavor is moderately sweet malts, corn, roasted grains, and some grassy hops. Light to medium bodied. This is definetly drinkable, but unspectacular.

Motor oil color with only a small ring of foam and light carbonation. Grass and malt aroma. Flavor of fruit and barley with a bit of both hop and spice. Throw in some toffee as well.
