Bucking Bock - it's a traditional German Spring Bock Beer - golden in color and mildly hopped...... Kick'n in at 7.5% alcohol - it has a smooth malty character that will surely thaw you out after a long cold winter. Spring is here and so is Rahr's Bucking Bock!

"Beer pours yellow, with big fluffo head, not much lacing, though. Aroma was okay, fruity. Flavor was a nice blend of fruity (pear-like) malts and a mild grassy hop finish. Easy drinking and light bodied. This seemed more akin to a maibock than a traditional bock, but I won't hold that against it."

[2] Review by Hannah from OK, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/2/2006 2:56:40 PM)
"Pours golden with good clarity and a short, fizzy head. The aroma features light malt and is spicy with grassy topnotes. I rate the flavor as average: a decent malt profile meets some bittering hops & a little extra alcohol, very beery. Light-to medium bodied and well carbonated."

[3] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (11/29/2006 11:21:06 PM)
"Sampled from bottle. A golden helles bock with a punch. The aroma is malty with a bit of grassy hops. The Flavor is quite malty, but still simple. Good, but uninspired. Medium-full body and carbonated enough to disguise its 7.5% potency. A new recipe from a small brewer, so it could easily change before I sample it again. Worth a try, but not worth a trip."

"An enjoyable brew from Rahr....nice smell, its very lacking in taste and weak in the mouthfeel..it has a nice subtle flavour profile but screams for more, the 7.5 is the best part, rahr just seems not to try hard enough..."

[5] Review by Lang from Newport, TX, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/12/2006 5:51:34 PM)
"Another disappointment from Rahr's. Light yellow, fizzy, no malt aroma. The alcohol flavor just punches you right in the gut. Bocks are meant to be rich, malty, friendly spring beers, inviting you to thaw out and enjoy the warming weather. This beer was the mean alcoholic uncle that made you stay indoors at those family spring barbeques. I've still got four bottles; anybody want 'em?"
