Blah, um is this just the southern version of AmberBock? I think it is. This had some malt character, but it was certainly vague and remined me a lot of AmberBock, but was just less roasty and more mellow...or maybe that's because the bottle I had was so damn old.

I wasn't too impressed with this bock. It was served everywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth, which I guess makes sense. When it was served to me it was always too cold and that may have affected the aroma and taste, as each time I had a second one, both improved. Nice brown color and malty, not sweet nor too hoppy.

Wow. This was fantastic. I had this instead of champagne for new year's 2005, and I could not have made a better decision. The corked bottle unleashed a rich fruity aroma of everything from raisens to orange and even clove. What stood out was the persistant carbonation and how well the aromas transferred to taste, not to mention how smooth and still bubbly it came across the tongue with a hint of alcohol.

Let me say that to like this, you should really be a fan of American wheat ales. This is the single most refresthing beer I have had, and is quite delicious, slightly grassy, somewhat citrusy and a light malt to play off the rich wheat. This beer produced the best head and lacing of any American Wheat I've yet seen. It is slightly watery, but the subtle flavors really come through in this 'lighter' beer. RERATE: While still quite an American Wheat beer, I've had bolder and more interesting takes since. However, I'll never say to a Cowtown...unless I'm driving or something...wait, that's a bad idea with 75th Street involved...

This is not my favorite pilsner, nor do I think it is anyone's favorite pils. It is still good, though. Nice corn flavor and aroma with some hop bitterness. Nothing special, but worth a try, and good for converting the BMC customers.

Not as good as the standard Hefeweissebier from Franziskaner. Seems like the beer is trying to be too many things. My bottle poured too flat and the hops came across, but weakly, probably worth another look, though.

Very wonderful head upon pouring with a heavy aroma of cloves. Cloudy and golden, but the lacing lacked. The clove scent carried over to heavily to the taste, however.

This was a pretty average European lager, reminded me of Harp's but with a more biting hop presence in aroma and flavor, but generally it was weak. The mild flavor was simple, nothing special, but still pleasant.

I liked it, good amber color that was hard to describe with good lacing, excellent bite and apparent alcohol flavor. Not exceptionally balanced, but a good hoppy brew. Weak aroma...but that may have been from all the smoke in their bar. Oh yea, and it was not only on tap, but on tap at the brewery, always a plus.

I'm usually wordy on these things. Not this time: A good starter beer and (very) overpriced. Spend a little more and pick up (or ask for) something with some flavor.
