In fact, it's probably best that I avoid what he swore was the best beer he ever had. From the reviews that I've read, it is a middle of the road beer. I blame the fact that he was out of the country and young.
This one has never seen Germany, Bavaria, or pretty much anywhere near Europe in general. It pours a very light golden color, and has a light, fluffy head that dissipates very quickly. It smells heavily of malt. Percentage wise, I'm not likely to enjoy a lager, but let's give this a go.
First sip, it's really good. It's sweeter than I remember bocks being; maybe that's why I liked them so much. It's sweet at first, and then it has a sort of flowery center, but it gets sweet again before the end. It's very enjoyable. But, I had to go do something shortly after opening the beer, so I came back to it when it was luke warm. Nope, this is definitely better when it is cold. Drink it cold.
Seriously. Drink it cold - it's very good.
4.25/5
