2011 Limited Release Every year Mammoth Brewing Company makes a commemorative beer to celebrate our Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza. This annual festival, now in its 16th year, takes place on the first weekend in August, and is one of the best beer and blues festivals in the country, set outdoors among the pines at 8,000 feet elevation in beautiful Mammoth Lakes, California. This year's Bluesapalooza beer was brewed as German-style Blonde Bock in March 2011, and after two weeks was then racked into Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. There, this beer matured for five months, picking up much of its color and flavor from the oak barrels. After deciding that this beer was ready to journey out on its own, the brewers bottled this delicious beer and sent it out into the the world and to its inevitable demise: down your throat. When you find yourself in the Eastern Sierra, just south of the east entrance to Yosemite National Park, please visit our tasting room. We are the highest elevation brewery on the West Coast. Cheers!

I'm sooooo not getting the low scores here. The heaven hill bourbon makes this blonde bock absolutely friggin delicious. Vanilla, oak, toasted coconut. One of the best mammoth brews I've had. Looking for it again...

Have to agree with jlozier on this one - thanks JLoz for sending me one cool bottle of BLUESAPALOOZA - wanted that bottle! Nice light amber pour with a tight white head, ample lacing and decent carbonation. Didn't get bourbon in the aroma - it was more medicinal, some malts hiding in there somewhere. Taste is also medicinal - like iodine or something NOT bourbon or whiskey related, anise? licorice? just not Bock-like. Anyway, again, VERY cool label, not a very good beer. Bottle will go on my limited collection of BLUES related paraphernalia.

Yeah, I know it cost entirely too much. After a whole afternoon of free beer, I figured what the hell...which was a bit of a mistake. Upon pouring this out, I thought that it was a bit dark for a bock. Then I read the description on the side and saw that it was aged in bourbon barrels. WTF? ATTENTION BREWMASTERS: LIGHT BEERS CAN NOT STAND UP AGAINST BOURBON FLAVOR AND AROMA. NOT EVERYTHING DESERVES TO BE AGED IN BOURBON BARRELS. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS IMMEDIATELY. YOU ARE RUINING YOUR BEER. Aroma is only hot alcohol, flavor is carbonated bourbon and finish/aftertaste is hot alcohol burn. Appearance is a dark amber, like the middle traffic light, with a thick foamy head on top. Texture was also solid and full. Would have been a great beer is it wasn't subjected to this ridiculous fad.
