Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours lightly translucent gold with a white head that barely existed. Aroma is lightly lemon candy. Approaching med body. Definitely sweet, and unfortunately agave is discernible. Not an agave fan. Lemon dominates.

Lemon-lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with nice white head. Moderately sweet lemon-lime, biscuit malt, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body.

Notes from May 2009 Separate bottles courtesy of Big Tex & Natalie. Thanks for the continued patronage. :) Poured into my DFH rounded glass. A rich, filtered, rusty maple brown, topped off with an inch of sandy cream head. Minimal lace. Smells of wheat bread, sticky toasted malt, newspaper ink, & a bit of fumey alcohol. Taste starts off with some really sharp malt, mild barky bitterness, followed by some burnt newspaper & toffee that sticks around till the end. Alcohol is solvent-like, but effectively warming. The yeast they're using is a little too clean for the style. Carbonation is strong, but the body is just a too thin for a bock. A little underwhelming for a big time commemorative, but as an affordable seasonal, pretty good. :)
