In Texas we have always missed having a nice pale bock, here in the center of Shiner "Bock" country. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 14, 2006 Nice amber color, minimal head retention. Aroma is mostly malt fruit notes, apricot, citrus. Flavour is sweet, identifibly the little brother of the optimator. Refreshing on the palate, little to no residual. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2006 This is a golden pour with a weak white head. The nose is small but floral and pleasant enough. It is mildly pilsner-esque, with some of the hoppiness present; but it is the nice, butter-bread middle and the medium-lasting bitter in the end that make this an above average brew. The alcohol is prevalent. robharing (82), Ormond Beach, Florida, USA

Ultra sweet and malty aroma. The taste is very sweet and malty as well, almost a little sour. There’s a slight metallic hint in the middle and a slightly bitter and semi-hoppy finish. Middle of the road bock. [[600th Rating]] IslandHaole (1035), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 23, 2005 A clear, deep Golden color with a white head. Though slightly skunked there were still sweet candy apple and spicy cigar tobacco scents noticeable.
A sweet malty front with a fruity middle, the alcohol peeks through about here. Finishes with more sweetness, a bit of a metallic tinge and some herbal hops. Nice feel and overall above average. I’d drink this again without hesitation but it could be dangerous at 6.5% and so easy going down!
