Commercial Description:
Early German monks created “bock” beer as a hearty beverage that would help sustain them during their Lenten fasts. The first bock beers were dark, but soon came “blonder” styles such as maibock. Maibocks have a rich, malty, full flavor. And, since our first brewhouse was from Heimertingen in Bavaria, we’ve honored that heritage by giving the name to our first lager beer.“Bock,” by the way, is German for “male goat.” It doesn’t make sense to us either.

Drank it out of the bottke, so I cant comment on the appearance. Aroma is malty with some scents of alcohol. Flavor is a smooth and malty with a creamy texture and noticeable alcohol presence. Not overly complex, but quite tasty.

I enjoyed this beer and it kinda rocked me as I didn’t initially realize the alcohol content. But nothing super distinguishable about this bock that I could put my tongue on except the creamy, milky texture which I rather enjoyed. A good beer but I don’t drink a ton of bocks so I’m not the one to ask.

Delicious and f*ck off strong. I’m a Minnesotan, so I may be a bit partial to our Summits. Sure wish she wasn’t seasonal.

Served on tap at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Restaurant in MOA Bloomington, Mn. Pours with one finger white head that goes to a ring leaving a good lace. Chrystal clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet malty nose. Starts with with a good balance of hops and malt but a lingering bitter finish. Bottle - 11/9/2006 Starts sweet apple/caramel flavor, cidery finish is not bitter like it was on-tap, maybe the aging helped. $1.79 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Grocery Iowa City, Ia.

very pretty, clear copper/orange with a dense off white head. clean toasty malt nose. sweet malt bready start is well balanced by a good whack of spicy hops. really well balanced for a style that can be overbearingly sweet.
