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.

came out clear amber with a small white head, good lacing. aroma and taste were light, can’t believe the alcohol content is so hidden. slight fruit, maybe banana, light on the finish as well.

The beer had a small head with excellent lacing. The color was a light amber. It had a slight fruity taste. It was a very light beer. Not as much flavor as other Mia Bocks that I have tried.

This was nothing but tasty times! I would have never guessed it was 7.1 APV, as it didnt seem to hit to hard. For a bock realted brew, it isnt overally dark, but that is what they are going for. Another fine Summit brew.

There is a malty aroma with some slight hints of fruit. The color is a cloudy golden with a decent white head that is short lasting. The flavor is malty sweet with a light finish on the palate.

Tap at the Map Room in Chicago, 4/30/2005. Amber colored with a rocky white head. Sweet aroma of over-ripe bananas and honey. Flavor is sugary sweet, and there is not much else going on in this beer. Somewhat thin and effervescent. Don’t know where they hide the 7.1 ABV.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with an average frothy white head that slowly diminished. Average sweet malty aroma. Medium body. Good sweet malty flavor with a medium hoppy finish. Drinkable but a little sweet.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep gold with slight ruby tones with a nice, 1-inch head that dissipates rather quickly to a thin ring. Aroma is malt, a bit of alcohol, some banana (?)... Flavor is sweet date, bready, a tiny bit of hop. Alcohol and (slight) hops presence become more pronounced on warming (and drinking) -- pleasant. Not outstanding but quite good, especially for the price here (6 bucks a six pack). Would buy it again when in the mood for this style.

Light amber color, medium white head. Aroma is malt and floral. Flavor is sweet and slightly spicy. I prefer the other Summit brews over this one.
