[1] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (9/1/2007 3:25:53 PM)
"I have had this brewery before and they seem okay but not great so I decided to try this limited release Bock beer. Aroma is sweet and of toffee and burnt caramel with maybe some slight chocolate overtones with even cotton candy or bubblegum. Appearance is a deep burgundy to brown in color with a full head on top that is light-tan in color but dissipates quickly to a very light lacing that adheres to the glass. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied and not bad with caramelized complexity as well as some chewy balance with a palate that is robust. Flavor is of maltiness as well as sweetness with some roasty overtones with an aftertaste that is almost watery with a finish that is wet-like and a bit chewy. Overall, not a bad beer and does have flavor and is better than a Michelob amberbock but this brew isn't the gretest but drinkable and fairly enjoyable."

"Light brown with amber showing through when held to the light. The aroma is bubblegum and caramel. The taste is bubblegum with a hint of maraschino cherries. There is a light toasted caramel throughout and in the aftertaste. A decent brew for spring."
