Commercial Description:
An authentic, German-style Bock, celebrating the coming of spring. This strong, deeply flavored lager has been aged to create a smooth, malty taste with a hint of sweetness. A light addition of German hops balances the malt flavor. Saint Arnold Spring Bock is best consumed at 40° Fahrenheit.

Very delicious and drinkable beer. A great hazy, dark gold color. Really nice flavor to this one, much more intricate and well-balanced in comparison to the other St. Arnold’s I’ve had. I will have this again! On tap at The Volcano.

Many thanks to MaltOMeal!
Firey amber color with small off-white head. Lots of sweet malt in the aroma and flavor, with florals, fruits, and minor sugar. Medium bodied, and though it is one-sided, it stays light and rather refreshing until the bitter, sticky finish. Definitely reminds me of spring, and I like that.

12oz bottle courtesy of zinister. After a strong dose of malt sweetness a caramel aroma emerged near the finish. Amber body with beige head. Sweet heavy filling malt flavor for the most part. Some sweet fruits near the finish with the caramel. Beer is a good dose of sweet malt and that lingers on the palate.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear reddish-orangish-amber with a thin, off-white head. Nose is lagerish with caramel, malt and nuts. Taste is of roasty malt, spices and some nuts. Mouthfeel is medium with some carbonation. decent.

Aroma is of caramel malt with hints of brandy. Taste is a strong sweet caramel and lots of peppery alcohol. Very dry, crisp mouthfeel. Tastes as if it may have been aged a bit in a barrel. Strong hop bitterness. Lacks complexity and depth of character. Drinkable.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with bu11zeye (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy copper color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of wheatiness, caramel, chocolate, and lightly nutty. Tastes of nuts, light chocolate, and caramel. Thinner body.
