A Pretty Balanced Mix of Malt and Hops...Hops Lightly Dominated for a Slightly Dry Finish...Possibly a Little Caramel and a Little Grainy. Solid Session Brew. mball581 (20), Maineville, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2005 On tap at Mpls/St. P airport-I don’t know if this is super fresh or a better batch, but I love this beer. Nice malt backbone, great aroma and just enough alchohol to give it that extra kick. Bartender told me that it had been put on tap the day before, so I guess that helps. kms399 (267), plymouth, Minnesota, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 16, 2005 smells skunked. small white head, golden with a touch of red. not a bad beer don’t know if I will buy it again though. Drew (2409), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 11, 2005 Light golden color, medium white head that settles to a thin ring around the edges, very little lacing. You wouldn’t expect much by looking at this. Aroma is sweet malts and hint of hops. Taste is sweet, slightly grainy palate, hops are faint - dust and dirt floor. Then the sugar reappears - I feel a cavity coming on. I get no thrill from this one. ChrisPants (317), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 9, 2005 Draft. Pretty orange (hint of read) with tight white head. No aroma. Thin overcarbonated malty body. Bitter finish. Inoffensive but unimpressive. JorisPPattyn (5176), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2004 Pale amber, greenish shine, small amberish head. Chaff, grapey American hops, very subdued, some ambrée malts. Sweetish, fruity, again especially grapes, sour grapes. Hoppy bitterness gradually builds, always leaving some restsugars in the oral cavity, tasting like cane sugar. Medium bodied, medium slickness, even some refreshing properties. Nice beer, in se. It’s about as German as Weisswurst with Heinz ketchup and Freedom fries. FlacoAlto (2473), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 16, 2004 Pours a brilliantly clear, orange-copper color, that is actually quite visually appealing. It is topped by a frothy, light tan head. The aroma is spicy and herbal, with malt notes of biscuits, though the aroma is fairly subtle. The beer is lightly sweet up front, with a nice finish that is haunted by notes of spicy hops and a hint of alcohol. There is almost a note of orange here, though this may just be suggested by the pretty orange color. This beer is actually quite light on the palate, and not overwhelming in the taste and flavors either. It is quite tasty, but it is missing a certain solid maltiness that a Bock should have.
