Aug 8, 2006 I had this one in a bottle (was at another persons house) otherwise I would’ve poured it but from what i noticed it was very golden in color. The aroma was nice and crisp. Taste was very good for such a light beer, again very crisp and evident of hops. Nice light beer, enjoyed it while it lasted!

Aug 8, 2006 Light color with a good head. Very heavy malt. The heavy body is not expected, given the light clear color.

Jul 3, 2006 Updated: Apr 26, 2007This seemed like a lager, not a bock. I’ve seen that in other reviews and agree. Yellowish with some white head. Standard hop/malt, Rerate - malty aroma, and malty hoppy body, nice dark golden color and big head (draft). Bumped up a tiny bit.

Jun 15, 2006 Draught at the Flying Saucer in Raleigh, NC. Clear golden color with thin white head that dissipated quickly. No lace. Light fruity aroma with a touch of skunky hops and grainy malt. Flavor is similar; fruity and grainy with a touch of alcohol at the end. Eh.

Jun 3, 2006 Not so sure what gives brewers the right to attach the "premium" label, but this one was just another nice beer (nothing more). Poured with a good head and had a hoppy bite to the finish of this malty base. Very good malty and hoppy balance, although the flavor wasn’t that special. Most certainly didn’t taste like a bock beer.

Jun 1, 2006 Tap at Flying Pie on Fairview: Gold color with a small white head. Malty aroma with sweet flavors of licorice and soap. No real hop presence, but a classic refreshing bock.

May 23, 2006 This was the 6th or 7th beer of a long night’s tasting so its subtleties may have escaped me. It tasted like a pilsener blended with malt liquor to me. It looked fine, once we’d got over the surprise of ordering a bock and receiving a pale gold beer that poured with a decent head. The aroma had some sweetish pale malt but were it not for the Reinheitsgebot, I’d swear I was sniffing adjuncts. Not possible, so I’m obviously wrong. The palate was slick, like a Blonde and moderately carbonated. On the tongue, all I could think of was Carlsberg Special Brew. This is more sophisticated than that but it’s not a million miles removed. Bready malts and fruity esters. For a German bock, this tasted like a cheap beer. I don’t get it. (Bottle; Bavarian Bier Cafe, Sydney)
