This is one of our rare lagers brewed in the style of the German Heiliges Geist Bock, or Holy Ghost Bock. The name refers to the lighter nature of the beer as opposed to the darker and heavier Doppel Bock and Mai Bock also brewed during the spring in Germany. There is a rich malt flavor, a firm German style lager head, and a clean lagered finish to this beer.

Ok its getting better.... its honey colored with a thin head. A Wet feel before it even hit my lips. Slick, filling mouthfeel. Very crisp, still the hops are in good harmony, adding a peppery bitterness in the aftertaste, this is crucial here..... Medium bodied. Aroma is pale, a little hayish funkiness. Taste is lightly sweet, honey, bitter orange, amber waves of grain.... You know just what it says on the bottle "essence of a golden barley field on a fall afternoon". Never been quite there myself, but if i close my eyes and take a sip.........

This is a unique beer to me. The color is a burnt-orange/copper and very cloudy, making it look mysterious. Both the smell and the taste have strong apple characteristics almost like a cider but with hints of hops. The carbonation is moderate. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I was expecting more of a bock taste from the name/type (Geist Bock?) but it's not much like a bock at all, IMO. Overall, a good beer and a nice change. While I dislike flavored beers, the hints of apple are actually suprisingly good.

Medium gold color. A medium to full-bodied lager style beer. Malty and somewhat hoppy. Good flavor, slightly sweet malts. Very smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is malty.

"A true lager" according to the label. Well the aroma on this is quite exquisite if you are a fan of nicelly done malts..nice stuff. The beer also has good looks, chesnut brown with a small off white head..nice lacing. again i liked the taste of the malts very full and not to sweet..creamy at the front of the tongue than it gets dry at the end..I like this..aids consumption!! Overall a nice lager beer indeed ..not sure if its a real bock..it tastedike some Kellerbiers I have had..but worth a try.Tasty session type brew.
