| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 25, 2006 Kind of a light copper color with thin white head. Fairly light aroma of sweet malts and maybe a little hops. There is an assertive hop presence that outweighs the traditional Mai Bock sweet maltiness. Nice well rounded beer. Sweet malt lingers into the after taste. unclemattie (2433), Georgia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2006 gotta love these 16 oz. bottles from Sprecher! a well rounded bock with the color of honey and a decent off-white head. aroma was of the pale malt and flavors of mild sweetness, some honey, pepper and some floral hops. a hint of a strange sourness at the very end kept this from scoring a couple of tenths higher.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 24, 2006 Bottle (500ml). Clear orange-amber with a decent white fizzy head. There’s some nice grainy malt in there, some light herbal hops, yeasty and slightly funky, almost woody. The alcohol’s in the taste, which is woody malt, soft grain and increasing orange zest bitterness in the medium-length finish. Decent body, astringent and nicely carbonated mouthfeel - very nice, I like the tang that blunts any hint of excessive sweetness here. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 5, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy amber body with an average off-white head and descent lacing. Aroma of caramel, grain, cereal, and florals. Flavor of caramel malt and grain with a light grassy skunkiness. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2006 Pour is clear light golden amber with almost no head at all...smell is sweet and grassy...strongly bitter and light tasting with a vegetal finish... bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 19, 2006 Bottled Pours a pale golden amber with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of flowers and fruit. Medium body and caronation. Taste starts with sweet nutty toasted maltiness and goes to floral/spicy hoppiness for a crisp, slightly bitter finish. Ughsmash (4074), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2006 Bottled. Poured a clear copper with a tall initial cap of white head... left some purdy lacing as it went down. Nose was of springy lighter-sweet malts.. mildly toasted.. with a surprising citrus and light fruit component. Floral hoppage met lightly toasted caramel and toffee in the flavor... with a significant floral and citrus presence from the dry-hopping. Medium-bodied to the middle, losing some steam between the middle and the finish. Finish of caramel and citrus almost felt like an IPA. Very drinkable.. missed a bit on the style.
