I like this one a lot. The 7% abv warms nicely as you drink it. Poured in a nice large goblet glass, it makes a nice foamy head, and I like the fact that it is gold instead of the usual dark bock color. The mouthfeel is on the full bodied side, and the hops balances the sweetness quite nicely. When I can get one of these (especially on tap)at the local pub I usually do.

    You know, I could have sworn I tasted a couple of these GB’s before, but looking at the ratings I see this is my first! Perhaps the administrators deleted something I forgot about. 12 oz brown bottle for $1.25. At first, after you pop the lid you get a slight cooked cabbage smell that is overwhelmed with a yeasty rising bread dough aroma. After you dispense it into the mug, that smell fades to a sweeter fruity strong ale smell, it gives the impression that this will be a stronger alky brew. The color and appearance of this brew is the same as your typical pale yellow american lager. The taste is definitely bockish, medium strong initial hit with some alky attributes. Has a little malty bitterness on the back of the throat but it is not an uncontrolled bitterness. Also, the bitterness does not build with each sip. It remains at a reasonable well behaved level. Mild to low carbonation, wishing there was a bit more. Overall, a little less than I expected but on par with Hofbräu München Maibock, Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Flying Dog Heller Hound Bock and Erie Brewing Golden Fleece Maibock. However, not quite as good as Nova Paka Valdstejn or Victory St. Boisterous Hellerbock. I must also mention that heller is not one of my fave styles.

    Pours brilliantly clear deep gold with decent white head. The mild aroma seems corn like with a bit of grainy malts to go along with some malts sweetness and floral hops. The taste is much the same starting with a slight bitter hop bite, grainy malts and a sense of corn. It then develops a mild sweet fruity ester component just as the floral hop flavor becomes noticeable.

    pours a clear golden brown, pours to medium sized off white head. The lace quickly dissaptes into a clear film. The aroma has deep layers of fruit, apricot being dominant. A hint of lemon citrus is detectable as well. The taste is fruity and solid. Tends to be somewhat sweet at the outset with light smokiness setting in at the swallow. A mild hoppy bitterness will linger at the back of the tongue and top of the throat as an aftertaste. The mouthfeel is smooth and light.

    I didn't know this was 7%. Felt light, but this is what I wanted actually. A nice, smooth, lighter, blond/golden ale. Finding all of Gordon's brews to be fairly solid. Decent hop finish. Semi-clear appearance...tiny bit of cloudiness. Sampling this brewer one beer at a time, but this is something I'd grab a 6-pack of.

    a pretty nice malty aroma and flavor. the body is a little bit lacking for a 7% bock, but isn't bad at all. average for the style, slightly better than the average beer overall.

    A bright orange colored beer. A big frothy textured, white head rises above. Settles slowly into a transition from thick lacing to none, eventually, at all. Grass and bread in the nose. A full bodied, smooth beer. Medium carbonation. The tasting follows the nose, light all around, but mostly bread malt with some grassy notes.

    A beautiful dark golden amber with a fairly thick head. Aroma is both hoppy and malty, not strong but definitely noticeable. Flavor is rich, mainly hoppy, just a whisper of sweetness, a fair amount of hop bitterness. Finish is hop-bitter and pleasing. A good accompaniment to a meal, or fine by itself.

    It's OK, kid. Spelly The Bee says, not everyone can win. Someone has got to lose, and that someone just happens to be you. -had in bottle, thanks to Justin.. pours a fake gold yellow, light sparse lacing .. . dead grass and light fake honey malts .. god, boring and slightly offensive ..
