Bocks aren’t really my thing. I assume they’re going for Maibock/Helles Bock here, since it’s way too light for a Traditional or Dunkles Bock, but that’s about as far as my knowledge of the field extends. However, referring to the BJCP description, this thing is fairly in-spec. Basically it’s a beefy Lager, but decently well done. (14/20)
