I'm normally not a big bock fan, but I found this enjoyable. Body is almost translucent straw, with a thick and fluffy white head. Smell is a little off putting. Lots of estery alcohol notes, and a musty and vaguely fruity smell. Recognizable traditional German malt and yeast scent under all that. Taste is much better, thankfully. I got toasted bread, some clean white fruit (pear, apple, etc), and earthy hops. Reminded me a lot of a more herbal pilsner. Feel is light, good carbonation, and with a lingering sweet finish that eventually slowly dries out the palate. Some noticeable alcohol flavor, but not unpleasant. I have no idea how "authentic" to the bock style this beer is (being that it struck me as closer to a pilsner) but I enjoyed it and would drink again.

A pretty nice example of the style.
