| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 27, 2006 This beer pours a beautiful clear gold with a large white head that lasts and lasts. With tiny bubbles cascading to the top, the foam head dissipates leaving tiny white lacing along the side of the glass. This is one of the prettiest beers I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking. The aroma is pleasantly mild with traces of malt and yeast.The blond bock has a creamy, lighter texture than its darker cousin, very refreshing and a great accompaniment to a sandwich and chips. It finishes with a satisfying crisp hoppy finish with no aftertaste. JohnC (2275), Mission Viejo, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 22, 2006 On tap at Longneck. Aroma was slightly citrusy and you could detect the carmelly toasty malt that would for sure become evident in the flavor. Color was an attractive orange amber,the taste was the malty carmel toastiness you smelled in the aroma, I didn’t get the hop flavor others got, although there was pleasing hop bitterness at the end. Almost over carbonated,but this could have been the fault of the dispenser. I thought it was a very fine Mai Suttree (2732), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Faintly cloudy orange, with a sturdy white head. Aroma is kind of fruity, plus some toffee and even a hint of cinnamon. Zesty, savory, almost salty flavor, possibly a touch of citrus. Crisp finish. MoreHead (355), Minnetonka, Minnesota, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 20, 2006 From a distinctive 16 oz. shaped Sprecher twist cap brown bottle with a coded bottling/lot number on the shoulder of the bottle. Made a good appearance, pour a semi-hazy slightly tarnished copper with a foamy, bubbly white head with a few copper hues poking through, reduced to a thin bubbly, semi-clingy lacing. Had a nice aroma, a sweet toasted maltiness with a floral hoppiness, some fruity and nutty notes as well. Good carbonation and a smooth, textured, leaning towards a full bodied mouth feel, very good drinkability. Delicious, smooth taste, a sweet maltiness, some toffee flavors, a little nutty, a gentle peppery hoppiness and a nice crisp, sweet, toffee malty finish.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 8, 2006 In the bottle at Bill B.’s birthday party. Rich gold in color with an off-white head. Aroma is limited and hidden with not much to discern. Slightly grassy at best. Strong hoppy bitterness to the flavor, but nothing remarkable beyond that. Amator (29), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 26, 2005 Decent, but definately not noteworthy. Had this while on the brewery tour a couple of years ago. I remember my comments then were that it had a nice flavor, but the aroma was a bit peculiar. Will try it again if I see it offered in my area.
