Mar 24, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with valpoaj (thanks!). Poured a medium orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, honey sweetness, and toasted grains. Tastes of toasted caramel, some honey, and a little bready.

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.

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 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.

May 4, 2008 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. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Beverage Depot, Orland Park, IL<font size=-1>

Feb 15, 2008 Gold to amber color with a thin off-white head. Light aromas of caramel, soggy malt and touch of grass and dough. Fairly thin flavors of caramel and toasted malt. Some honey and dryness and a bit of bitterness. A bit thin. A starter bock for lager lovers.

Feb 12, 2008 I assume that this one replaced the Spring Bock. Light copper body with a decent lasting slightly off white head. The aroma is caramel and some vanilla beans. There is also some light musty leather. The taste has some caramel and walnuts. A nice toasted bread crust finish is marred with a little bit of rubbing alcohol. This would be a nice, light bock, except for that chemical and alcohol finish. Still, it’s one of Point’s better beers.
