pours out a murky gold colour adorned with a inch high white head reducing slowly to some chunky lace. muddled pale malt aroma, maybe some wet leather and adjunct topped off by a bit of spicy hoppiness. again the flavour profile is riddled by a mash up of maltiness really not worthy of any bock style. this is the second game on beer that has this cheap wort like taste in it. there are parts where i can pick out the clean malt flavour but it certainly hard to find. i'd like to know what the problem is. anyway, it does dry out in the end with some wispy spice hop notes, but the beer is so soft and squishy that i'd have a hard time picking out what style this is blind. there is little lagerish qualities to it, and it even is weirdly yeasty and slightly unfiltered. medium bodied with a mouthfeel that is all wrong for the style. not too drinkable.

overall i am curious to know why this is so bad. i'm guessing this is a poor beer past it's freshness window. not recommended.
