Old Chico Brand Pale Bock is a beer of legend. Once a brewery-only treat, it was so coveted that we heard tales of folks traveling hundreds of miles to get it. Golden and robust, Pale Bock is back from hiatus. We’re proud to reintroduce this full-bodied local lager, the perfect beer for the coming of spring in Northern California.

[draught] I was expecting an overly hopped, ersatz version of a bock - what I got was not quite the case - this was surprisingly sweet, with quite a subdued hop presence (for SN anyway) - grainy, with hints of maple and corn syrup - somewhat thin finish - not the greatest of bocks, but much better than expected.

Golden coloured. Big hop aroma. Full bodied, clean maltiness. Very bitter finish. I liked it!
