12oz can from Half Time. Medium golden, thick, cloudy, light head. Grainy, malty aroma, baked bread.Taste is more thick, bready flavors with a healthy dose of sweetness. Pretty much on target for the style.

Decanted from an 12 oz (355 ml) can into a Captain Lawrence taster pint; production information not in evidence. Have now had this twice as of 7/29/20 from two cans purchased separately.
A: Pours a slightly hazy, amber to light copper color with short-lived, one to two finger, egg-shell white to orange chiffon head, rim retention, and little or no lacing.
S: Slightly caramel bouquet with a lot of grassiness and graininess. Maybe an apricot or cocoa note.
T: Basically dry. Any caramel flavor is completely subsumed by what I thought initially was ginkgo, but, after a second go, there can be no doubt that there is a strong caproic acid flavor in this beer, which renders it basically undrinkable. Bitterness in this setting doesn't contribute.
M: Light bodied with low to medium effervescence.
O: I like the simple can art, but this brew really needs work. With what is going on with COVID-19 and small breweries struggling in that setting, I would prefer not to be overly critical, but quality control is “a thing” and if you want to sell people beer, it is something to which you need to attend. I cannot help but acknowledge the connection between “ein Bock” (a play on "the goat" in German) and “‘caper” (the goat in Latin) is interesting, but not in a good way here. And while we are discussing it, put a date on the can. Poured it out both times rather than subject myself to the entire 12 oz.
