This is called a bock but listed as an Amber on the brew board.

Eye Candy: Deep amber, brown edges. Good head retention, steady lines of carbonation.

The Nose Knows: Light toasted malt, bready middle, sweet fruit and alcohol in the end. Somehow this smells similar to the Waterfront Wheat.

Tongueland: Toasted malts, cherry sweetness, light finish, bubbly champange-like alcohol cold. Sweetness and alcohol cloying as it warmed.

Bender: I'm not sure what this exactly is. Kindof reminded me of a cross between Alley Cat amber, Pride of Milford, and that Victory Heffe Bock concotion. Strangely drinkable.

Serving type: on-tap
