This is good. Very much like Full Sail Boardhead or Lagunitas Brown Shugga. I am surprised they call it a bock; they might have called it an ale or a barleywine. This beer is opaque and brown. The head lasts as a thing ring, and there is a lot of sediment, especially for a style that so often has little or no sediment at all. There is an aroma of brown sugar, citrus-hops, and fermenting orange juice. Flavor is very sweet, but this has only a hint of the standard bock carmel and sweet malt. Instead, there is more sugar and fruit. Fairly thick. Quite good, especially for the low price, but not very bocky.
