Gluek Honey Bock
January 7th thru January 13th
Brewer's Description
This special bock beer is handcrafted with the combination of special toasted malts and the finest hops and with a touch of honey is very well balanced. Honey is evident in the aroma, (yet not overpowering), but harmonious with the Bock's malty and bready aromas. The Gluek Honey Bock appearance is a light reddish amber to copper color, bright clarity, off-white persistent head. This bock has a medium/light to medium body, with a gentle creaminess, moderate carbonation, with a smooth moderately crisp finish and has a bit of alcohol warming.

Kassie says Pretty Gross
January 7th, 2008
Well, it has a pretty color and it is cheap. But, it tastes gross and is getting worse as it gets warm. The smell is alright, but it is sort of offensive in my mouth. It just doesn’t taste good. I like my cheap beers to taste more like nothing, but this has a strong taste. It also has an aftertaste, which a cheap beer should never have.
But, if I’m going to be honest, this is significantly better than I thought it would be. I thought it would taste like honey piss, but I can’t even taste the honey.
I know I’m not being specific, but there is something I just don’t like. It tastes wrong.

Re: “I thought it would taste like honey piss”. Um, I’m afraid to know how you know that, Kassie!

well, come on, you can’t judge all “cheap beers” the same. Bocks should have an after taste.
