I am guessing this brew is like the old Pabst bock...bock as in Goat not as in Bock Bier. I just can't get excited over a 5.2 "bock" beer. Course if I was drinking light beers and this came along...each to his own...

Where I live no chance of seeing this brew, as I say reminds me of the old Pabst bock...or heavens preserve us Lyincoogle the stuff Millers puts in fancy boxes...there bock is 5.5 if I recall. Now don't be thinkin I be in a glass house, it comes down to Mickey's when its desperate in these parts, would trade that any day for a Fosters Green can..that is desperate!!

[:)] Got a GOAT 12 today at a place I've long known of, but never before visited. http://csfarmmarket.com/ They have great variety. Their prices can be bested by other stores, but not their selection. Afa price, this 12er was ~ $9.50 bt&d. Not bad in today's market. Alright then. [8D] http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=17dbuu&s=6

Here's a one month old review of the current version whch I bought. IMO it isn't identical frm year to year (not Budweiser) but very close. [:)] https://search.aol.com/aol/video?q=genesee+bock+beer+videos&s_it=searchtabs#id=1&vid=2ac27f06c032eec410e112dd0cc59784&action=view

I'm not liking Genny Bock lately. Seems to be about the same as their Oktoberfest..dry, bland, two-dimensional bitter charcoal... Beers change behind the label. Genny Bock was a great occasionally available brew for many years. I've given up. :-(

Genesee Bock is now Spring Bock Special Edition. Had to grab a couple...$8.49 bt&d. Hoped that the label change signaled a change BACK TO the earlier (VERY GOOD) formula(s) ?!? :o Mixed impressions. If you don't have any interest in the Light Beer category you can quit this post NOW. ;) Reason: This IS a better version than the last one. Caveat: This version should be labeled as Genesee Bock Light Beer. Nothing offensive at all! The flavor is pleasant and simply a watered down brew. Still 5.2% abv. Haven't checked calories, but it's too light in flavor to be a 4 star. That's it.

You can preview a post. That will show you exactly what the posted version will look like without the text-code. I do this every time I post a picture, for example.
