Leinenkugel 1888 BockI just picked up Leinenkugel’s 1888 Bock.  This brewery known for their simple, straightforward beers and this 1888 Bock is no exception.

This beer pours a clear copper with a tan head that disappears with big bubbles and no lacing.  It smells of sweet malt, a bit of caramel, and a hint of nuttiness.  It tastes like roasted malts and a bit of light bitters.  The body is thin and heavily carbonated.  It is simple and easy drinking with only the yeast flavor lingering in the finish.

This beer is a good beer, but lacks character in maltiness and complexity compared to other winter beers like Sam Adams Winter Lager.   It is another smooth and light beer from Leinenkugel.  I paid $6.49 for a 6-pack. Mildly recommended.
