I drank this in a 12 oz bottle. I am a Yankee. So, this is new to me. I saw this beer in the excellent movie "hell or high water". Well, if Jeff Bridges enjoys it, I'll try it. (Yeah, evil product placement...hiss!) Well, this is a discovery. This is my new hangin out in summer beer. I do not understand the low ratings this beer receives. SO.... Look: Brown, clear, nice. Smell: none bad or good. Taste: light and clean but yeah there is a mild good flavor. Nice aftertaste. No bite. Goes down easy... Feel: pleasant, good for having a few. It's slightly light in a good way. I paid $12 for 12 pack. This beer is the best $1 beer I've had in a long long time. I'll be enjoying this all summer. I enjoy thicker beers, but this belongs in my fridge in summer next to my heffe weisse. Oh, yeah.

Had straight from the bottle, but have had it on draft as well. A clear brownish color with an ok head and lacing. A malty smell that is not offensive. The taste is slightly sweet with a bit of toast. Tasted was enhanced a bit by the excellent ribs with which it was consumed.

I must not be a beer connoisseur, because this is my favorite all day beer. Smooth and refreshing

Look - Pours a dark amber color, no head or lacing to speak of.

Aroma - Malty, sugar cookies, burnt toast

Taste - Starts out with a nice toasted malt flavor, reminds me of hard pretzels, light caramel, bit of char, though I'm fairly certain they don't use any roasted barley, cola-like sweetness. It has a nice flavor but it's gone in a flash.

Feel - Light bodied, carbonation is where I'd want it for a beer like this,, not too aggressive, finishes slightly dry.

Overall - On the milder side for a bock but still enjoyable. I bet it'd get more love it were 5.5 or 6%.
