330ml bottle, from an Austrian Best of Bocks mixed pack.

This beer pours a clear, somewhat glassy golden amber hue, with three beefy fingers of tightly foamy off-white head, which leaves some undulating sand dune lace around the glass as it evenly seeps away.

It smells of grainy cereal malt, a bit of mild warming alcohol, and soft earthy and weedy hops. The taste is more fairly sweet cereal grain, some fleeting biscuity notes, doused earthy, leafy hops, and a simmering, sort of plastic-tinged sugary booziness.

The carbonation is quite sedate, the body a stilted medium weight, due in no small part to the slight cloying, tacky nature that equally assails the overall smoothness. It finishes sweet on all accounts - grainy malt, booze, and the general disposition.

Like its boxed brethren, this bock has a hearty dose of the ol' boozeroo - yet is a little better at integrating it into the whole, letting the grain and usually over-matched hops breathe a bit easier, to everyone's benefit.
