Draught at Steinkellers in Oxford, OH. I thought this would be a little darker than what it was. It only looked a little darker than a pale lager. Anyways it was pretty solid for a lighter beer but i would have preferred a darker malt.

This was a mssive bock. One o the best I’ve ever had. Gold pour. Canary yellow and forthy lager white head. Not too sticky. Powerful nose. All sweet malts. Floraly, earthy honey tang sweetness, Much like mounatin laurel without any greeness. Cottony sweetness. Flavors are rich. Orangey tangy sweetness. thick honey maltiness. Lovely beer. Nice hop greeness. Spicy finish that is clean and melon like.

Draught at CM Bockfest. Bright gold w/ nice white head...honey, malt, straw, grain aroma...moderately interesting. Full bodied and sweet. nice malt, with more honey and some light fruitiness...not finding the hops...seems a bit underattenuated to me...or just unbalanced sweet...grainy...works out to be a pretty good beer for sitting in a beer garden on a sunny day.

Draught. Pours a deep gold with a thin white head and some lacing. Pleasant honey malt and honey aroma. Nice malt with an earthy and herbal hop bite for balance in the finish. Very drinkable beer.

on draft at Eli Cannons - Clear golend pour with a medium fizzy white head. Negligable aroma, malty...malty...malty. Heavy caramel malts. with a hint of hops. Sweet. Nothing to give this any identity.

From JPDIPSO’s tap. Clear gold/amber. Thin soapy white head. Aroma has perfumey oats. Stale grain w/ perfumey hop taste. Pretty good beer.

Pours a clear, lightly sparkling golden with a lightly-lacing white head. Aroma is earthy and somewhat musty with some sweet caramely maltiness. Body starts rich and sweet with good German lager yeastiness and a nice noble hoppy bitter balance. Many thanks to JPDIPSO for sharing this from his keg!

Pale malt aroma with spicey hops. Better flavor: more sweet pale malt but with lightly spicy red-fruited grassy hops. An excellent mailbock! Thanks for John for sharing a growler of this.
