Handwritten notes: This so-called bock tastes like a German lager with slightly more alcohol bite. The fact that European hops are used is quite evident in the citrussy and dewy-grassed aromas and flavours. Right away I think of a beer I've only had once in my life - Summit Kölsch. What a strange thing, this human tongue is, to take us back to long forgotten days that our brain since disregarded. Nevertheless, look at the picture on the bottle (a Glade surrounded by forest with mountains in the background). That is this beer. Fresh and unspoiled. It made me think of an old Canadian Short film they used to play at 2:30 a.m. when I was 15 or 16 years old and on summer vacation from high school. The story was a man obsessed with the picture on a can of evaporated milk. I have spent many a futile hour trying to track down video of that old film online. It wasn't particularly good, but I'd like to watch it, say "huh" and walk away. Enjoy your Kölsch! I mean bock.
