The atmosphere of graft and lawlessness fostered a boom in jazz clubs and speakeasies, earning our town the title ‘Paris of the Plains.”

Handwritten notes: I've never been really wild about anything Boulevard has put out, and this is no exception. This is a mediocre Bock with somewhat of a honey touch, but mostly a fizzy little back biter with a pilsner finish. What makes this a Bock? I'm not really sure and puzzled at my ignorance. I thought a Bock was a high(er) alcohol content brew with the not-unpleasant taste of having slightly "gone off". I don't think that's happened here. I could be wrong, they're the experts, after all.
