Trader Joe's HofBrau Bock
This is the first in a set of "Beers from my fridge that I have held onto to blog about" I originaly thought about beer blogging 2-3 months ago, and have been holding onto 1 unique beer I get till I started blogging. (well trying to hold on to... my 6 pack Stone IPA didn't make it) so I have a bit of a back log :)
History about the name of this beer: HofBrau means "kings beer" in German. It is also the name of one of the largest breweries in Bavaria Germany, and is run by the state.
ABV: 7%
Smell this beer doesn't have much of a nose, slight sweet smell is all there is
First impressions: this beer is a a nice shade of light amber, no head
Taste: overall nice body, a little crisp at first, slightly sweet but not overpowering. The aftertaste is a bit tangy.
Overall impression: ok
This beer is not royalty, but it isn't bad either. The tangy aftertaste does detract, but its not that bad. Cost wise its a bargain, at $6 from TJs for a higher ABV beer if thats what you are looking for.
