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!

On tap at the Tree - Pale golden color with a thick white head, this has a rich, sweet malt aroma. It’s almost chewy malty, tasting like fresh dough with hints of fruitiness. Nice clean yet sweet finish. All around good bock.

Tap. Bockbierfest -Wauwatosa. Deep golden color with a dense cream colored head. Sweet cookie and floral aromas. Smooth thick feel. thick rich malt flavors with a sweeter floral hops balance. Seems to need a touch more dry bitterness to balance the malt but I am more of a malthead.

On-tap at Flying Pie in Boise, ID
Pale yellow color, very clear & filtered. The head is light and fizzy, dissipates quickly. The aroma is lightly sweet with a touch of apricot & raspberry. The malt profile is clean & fresh. The flavor is well balanced with a crisp hoppiness and mild pils malt. Finishes medium bodied for such a light color. Dry & sticky feeling on the palate aftwerwards, light acidicty. A good light bock, only on tap in the US maybe? tasty!

Draft. Clear amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate nutty malt citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a balanced sweet bitter finish of moderate duration.

Draught. Medium yellow. Aroma is moderately malty (light bread, cookie, caramel), moderately hoppy (herbs, flowers), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Not much to balance the big malty sweetness, but I like the aroma.
