Jul 14, 2007 Rating No. 1212. Bottle. Big bready malty nose, light fruity accents. Rich clear golden pour with a soapy off-white / eggshell head. Moderately crisp body, medium-full and very, very dry with light yeasty notes. Taste is all malt with faintly prickling hops. Touch of alcohol, and a little bit of heft. Could be a bit softer, smoother (a little harsh), but otherwise, a great addition to the Smutty stable and a good brew.

Jul 13, 2007 22 oz bottle. Dark golden color. Large white head. Aroma is sweet with lemons and some sugar. Flavor is also sweet, with a nice hit of citrus flavor in the finish. Over all I think this beer was pretty decent.

Jul 7, 2007 Pours a dark golden from the 22 oz. bomber. A large pure white head slowly disapated, leaving a nice lacing ring around the glass. The scent was lemon, candy and some sweetness. The mouthfeel is clean and crisp with some notes of grain, candy and floral spices. Very refreshing.

Jul 6, 2007 Dark golden color, plenty carbonated, thick white head. Mild sugar candy and dough aroma. Somewhat sweet and sticky palate, a bit of alcohol flavor and bite at the back of the throat. A negative to me. Not bad but lacks the complexity of some of the German offerings.

Jul 6, 2007 Big powerful bockbier here. Beautiful copperish brown color to this lager and big malt nose give this beer a uniqueness in our IPA-centric world. Smuttynose makes another winner, that f’n simple.

Jul 6, 2007 22oz bottle-pours a big foamy off white head that laces and slightly hazy gold color. Aroma is light malt-some caramel, grain. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel/honey, grain, fruit, secondary/faint hops bite and alcohol. Finishes with earthy/spicy/flat hops. Right on style. Medium body. OK carbonation.

Jun 30, 2007 22 oz. I bought a few weeks ago (also just got one as a bonus from bmartin08 - thanks!!) Golden color with a nice pillowy head. Aroma has a nice crisp citrus essence mixed with freshly-baked bread. Flavor has a bit of tart citra-sweetness with some pleasant bready malts, fresh honey, and enough hops to remind you that this aint no weak ass lager. Nice brew - really makes you think of a warm spring day.
