Breckenridge Pandoras Bock

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

A copper colored beer with a two finger frothy textured white head rising above. Not much hang time in the retention. A moderately sized soapy ringlet is left behind. The profile in nose and tasting is malt sweetness, caramel, lots of saramel. Maybe some grassiness. Not sure. Moderate bodied, creaminess. Not bad

Fairly decent caramel malt aroma with a touch of grass. The body is copper colored, the head is thin but leaves some spotty lace. Flavor is mostly the caramel malts with some earthy hops, the finish is dry and malty. Overall a nice enough bock, certainly not the worst available.

Hmm. What's the big deal? Lotsa low ratings. Not a bad beer, but nothing to amazing. Dark clear amber colour. Beige head. Aroma familiar of plums, bread, and brown sugar. Taste is similar. Caramel, bagels and cinnamon. Crisp, well carbonated.

It pours a dark burnt-orange with a thick white and slightly orange head and some lacing. An aroma of caramel malts, citrus, light brown sugar, and mild spices. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich. Flavors of caramel malts, light hops, citrus, light brown sugar, bitterness, and mild spices. Mmm .. pretty good.

Pours a dirty amber with a decent sized tan head. Aroma is sweet, bready, malty, with some caramel notes; some faint earthy hops also evident. Taste is mostly just sweet and bready. Not much going on here--just an average beer.

02825B09 Bottle Code; Sampled May 2009
A solid pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces a three-finger thick, lightly amber tinged, tan colored head. The beer is a ruddy amber hue that shows a brilliantly clear, light amber tinged, full copper color when held up to the light. The aroma has a nice, clean, sweet malt character to it that makes me think of grapes (though not in a fruity way), whole grain crackers, toasted whole grain bread that has been lightly sprinkled with brown sugar. There is not a whole lot going on here, and that grape note even picks up a touch of tartness as the beer warms.

Lightly sweet malt, a touch of tartness even, some herbal notes and a toasted grain astringency are noticeable as the beer first rolls across my tongue. The beer finishes with a touch of hop bitterness as well as a lingering, almost metallic, malt note that has some toasted grain, some caramelized notes and even a bit of something that reminds me of sweet tea. The body has a medium fullness to it, though it could be a touch more viscous for the style. That grape like note comes into the flavor as well and reminds me of tart / sweet green table grapes somehow.

A bit of a disappointment, it could perhaps use a bit more lagering time as it seems like it still might be a bit green. This seems like it has a good start to the malt complexity that it would need to be great, but it is just not integrated enough to really work here.

Sampled on 4/21/2009. This dunkel bock pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized beige foamy head, with decent retention. The aroma is caramel, bready and sweet. A light to medium bodied dunkel bock. The malts are bready and sweet. The hops are floral and earthy. A touch thin and a little under-carbonated. A little bland. This beer needs to be way maltier. Hides the alcohol well. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. The finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Awesome name, cool label, mediocre/lousy Bock. I found this very similar to Genesee Bock in most regards, but I would expect more from a "craft" brewery. Very faint malt nose, bread and sugary sweetness. Cola colored body, thin wispy head and solid lacing. Medium bodied, fizzy and easy going. No aftertaste to speak of and it finishes with an odd emptiness. Bland taste that contains a hint of sweet malt familiar with a standard bock profile. The flavor is underdeveloped and empty. Bad bock

I recently bought a 6-pack of this brew and wasn't thoroughly impressed with the beer. Dark amber color with not much of a head. The flavor was kind of bland for a bock. I will probably not buy this beer again.
