Anchor Brewing Company's Anchor Bock

Another quasi-macro brewery that is widely available without compromising their beers.

This one pours an almost completely opaque brown with reddish highlights and a good tan head for a lager.

Throws off a great sharp grassy smell as the head dies down, backed by a great bready malt that is substantial even for a bock.

Solid piney bitterness that lingers and fades to grassy, then to a solid malty grainy bitterness.

Great malt backbone with above average bitterness for a bock. Very good, best when colder.
