The beer pours an amber color with a thick frothy offwhite head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a light, yet mildly malty scent that boasts of crystal and Carapils malts. It's fruity with a nice lager yeast aroma. The taste is decent. It has a smooth, malty flavor that is light and easy drinking. It goes down easy and finishes dry with some residual sweetness. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low bodied beer with good carbonation. This is a decent bock beer. I like the aroma as well as the flavor; a fine drinker.

Catch up rating from notes, 2012: Bottle from sampler pack, historic American recipes. While labelled a bock, it came off as more of a Vienna lager, and not a very good one at that. Medium amber, weak head, weak malty aroma and taste. Watery and thin. I hope this is what it actually tasted like back in the day.

This is the first of six beers I have tried from a collection of beers I bought called the American Collection. I bought this sampler here in Germany. I also thought it was strange that this beer was made in Wisconsin.This beer doesn’t represent the USA well. It is not much of a bock the flavor doesn’t finish like one. It has a very basic aroma that is a lot like an American adjunct lager. The body is medium with an average amount of bite. There is a small amount of bitterness and carapils sweetness.

A - Only a vigorous pour coaxed out a 2 finger bone white head. Deep black/brown amaretto color.

S - Very light. Some sweet malt.

T - Sweet and malty. Caramel. Almost no bitterness. Some cream and coffee. Maple syrup and raisins. Dark fruits in the finish.

M - Light, almost watery body. Very light carbonation. Syrupy finis.

D - A touch too sweet, and the super thin body is too light on the palate.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Appearance: Poured a dark chocolaty brown with a moderate head that dissipated quickly. Good clarity.

Aroma: Sweet, dark malt smell. Strong chocolate nose. No hop aroma discernible to me.

Taste: Dark malt taste with a sweetness more subtle than that in the aroma. Hints of caramel. The taste of chocolate is far less present here than in the aroma and is replaced by an earthiness reminiscent of the Shiner beers in Texas.

Mouthfeel: Pleasantly smooth and moderately velvety with a nice fizziness from carbonation.

Drinkability: Good, sweet but not cloying and just enough complexity to entertain the palate for a while.

Date. 6 December 2010
Glass: Standard American Pint
Type: 12 fl oz

Sold as part of a "History of Beer" pack gifted to me by my Aunt. Well...it doesn't taste like a bock. Pours with a 1-finger head, reduces to nothing, lacing is average, color is clear caramel-brown. Aroma of dark malts, caramel, some wet leather. Taste can be described the same. Slight sting on the palate, sweet malty aftertaste. Nothing special, yet highly drinkable for a dark (watery) session beer.

Reddish brown with a finger of dense tan foam that leaves some nice lace on the glass. Roasty and earthy malt with a little bit of caramel in the nose. Caramel and roasty black malt flavors are okay but are too diluted. Finishes squeaky clean. Tejas is way too watery and light bodied to be a really good example of the style. A pretty boring beer.

This was part of a gift box. Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Produced an off white foamy two finger head that faded to a short head that hung around for quite some time. It has a light red with good carbonation. Smells of roasted carmel malts and a little coppery. Tastes pretty sweet and grainy with a little hop finish. Not a clean or well balanced flavor. It has a watery light bodied mouthfeel.
