Full Sail Pale Bock

I'm down to my last two birthday beers, surprisingly.  The one that helped me quench my thirst after some yard work today was Full Sail LTD04 Pale Bock:


Vittles:
Specialty Beer (Pale Bock)
7% abv
45 IBUs

Impressions:
It's certainly crisp enough to be a refreshing thirst quencher.  The aroma is subtle and balanced between a biscuity malt presence and grassy/floral hoppiness.  The malt flavors are present but mild, and the only hops used are Willamette, so it's got a very enjoyable mild grassy and floral character with a bit of spice on the back end.  It's pretty lively with decent carbonation that adds to a medium-light body.  There isn't a whole lot of aftertaste, and it doesn't linger very long.

Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 32/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 82/100

I think this is the first beer I've tried from Full Sail.  I'll be looking for more of their beers to try in the future.  I don't expect great things from them, but this seems to be a pretty solid beer.

Cheers!
