On tap, Taco Mac, Decatur, GA, USA.
OK, I’ve given Thomas Creek every opportunity to come through and this is just another let down in a long line of let downs. Actually this was much worse than a let down, and I am not at all sure what this beer is supposed to be.
First off it’s NOTHING like a bock to me. Medium brown pour with a decent head, but it fades quickly. The smell and taste are UTTERLY bland and weak. Lots of wet cardboard, some nasty plastic aftertaste and a mild bitterness. I have no idea what they were attempting to do here, but whatever it is they failed. It drinks a little like a homebrew where the brewer forgot to add an ingredient. It kind of resembles “beer”, but it has no character or characteristics that would distinguish it from slightly bitter grain water.
Ridiculously light and thin in the mouth, I have no idea how this relates to the style. Bock? I don’t think so. No malt, no body and no alcohol.
Nasty.
