330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, amberkleurig, with small to average, firm, frothy, to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Citrusy fruity, leafy, hoppy aroma, notes of tea, lemon tea, lemon ice tea, instant lemon tea, rather neutral, caramel malty background; after the first sip a tad defamiliarised by rather cheesy, resinous flavours and with a touch of honey. Taste is dry, toasty, caramel malty, slightly leafy, herbal, citrusy fruity, hints of lemon tea, a touch of black tea, futile malty efforts to establish real chocolately and nutty aspects, cheesy, soggy interludes. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft carbonation. More a misconception of an Amber Ale than a Bock to me; quite nice as long the lemon tea flavours aren't taken over by the cheesy aspects - so-so.
