Bottle. My Christmas bock was not a helles. It poured a deep dark brown with an off-white head that didn’t last long. Aromas of dark malt and caramel. crisp clean flavor of caramel malt with enough hops to keep from being too sweet.Very good mouthfeel. Easy drinking.

Generally I’m not a fan of pale bocks, but this one is delicious. Nice balance between sticky sweet malts and sharp, biting hops. Quite drinkable. One of the better examples of the style.

Copper. Small, fast head. Aroma: Blend of seasonal hers, malt. Flavor: Same + caramel, sweet. Bitter finish.

on tap at papago. <br /><br /> hazy pale gold/straw color with a soft white head and an abundance of spotty lacing. it smells quite dry... almost like a bale of straw mixed with a bunch of earthy yeast, lemon, vegetables and spices. it*s quite odd and definitely not what i was expecting. the palate is dry yet there is a good bit of malty sweetness present. the flavor is rather hearty and robust with more vegetables, possibly cooked corn combined with straw, grass and yeast with a spicy hoppy finish. medium body is somehow heavy and slick. <br /><br /> i*m not really sure what to call this... as there seems to be some discrepancies in every review. 6/3/6/3/12/3.0

500ml bottled on 48 08. Pours a clear dull gold with vibrant white head. Aroma is sweet malt, vanilla, and banana. Flavor is very metallic, like copper or brass and some notes of alcohol. Medium body with moderately low carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Not horrible if you get past the $6 pricetag and the metallic, but thats quite a step...
