As winter begins its slide toward the sunny days of spring, we bring you Glissade Golden Bock to help you enjoy the ride. Glissade is a remarkably mellow take on the traditional spring bock. With restrained sweetness, we emphasize subtle malt flavor, balanced against delicate aromas of spicy and floral European hops. This complex balance helps Glissade slide across the palate—bracing us against the last cold nights of winter, while its bright golden color turns our thoughts toward spring.

[1] Review by popery from San Franciso, CA, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/10/2010 5:59:03 PM)
"Clear, light golden liquid with a white rocky head. The aroma is mostly yeasty malt and noble hops. The flavor is bittersweet with a bit too much malt sweetness and a somewhat astringent hop bitterness. It’s an ok beer but the noble hops are a bit much for me. I love Sierra Nevada but their lagers haven’t wowed me yet. The malt flavors get a bit cloying and I prefer their normal American hop dominant beers. Still, not bad for the style."

[2] Review by Jabah from Fort Pierce, FL, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/7/2010 2:55:34 AM)
"This was on sale at Publix for $6.99, so decided to try it. At first I was a little upset that I didn't go with the discounted Torpedo instead, but after a couple more tries it grew on me slightly. Still reminded me of a pilsner though, maybe a little more malty and hoppy. I haven't had a lot of bocks to compare. I would say this is more of a daytime beer. Was OK to try for the price, but don't think I'd buy again unless stocking up with a variety of neutral/economy stuff for a party.... And it would have to be on sale, as I wouldn't pay the full price of $8.49ish for this."

[3] Review by fargingbastige6 from Birmingham, AL, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/22/2010 10:30:17 AM)
"A good, honest beer that is very well balanced and unpretentious. Reminds me of maibocks that I've had, but perhaps slightly less malty than some. No real complex characteristics but very enjoyable."

[5] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/16/2010 3:37:15 PM)
"My buddy brought a few of these over on Commercials During the Superbowl Sunday. A great bock...is this like a maibock? Golden orange color, some crackery-biscuit flavors, sweet berry-malts and the some solid underpinnings of hops. DELICIOUS. Simple, but a thoroughly enjoyable beer."
