This is an outstanding maibock. It is light amber with a very large light tan head slowly shrinking to a thin head with some decent lace. The smell is rich bread, crust, hints of hay, pine, honey, raisins, and herbs. The tatse is full-bodied, complex, and interesting, yet smooth and highly drinkable. It has honey, raisins, grapes, lightly toastyed bread, herbs, grass, a hint of pine, some wine and a spritzy-juicy quality, smooth, with great balance.

Thick foamy head. Dark golden body. Very tight carbonation. Lots of pop when first opened the bottle. Aroma is almost nil, but its got a nice light hop character to it. Fresh malty body. Heavier than the beer I had the day before. Frankly, much better than the beer I had yesterday. Hops in the aftertaste and on the palate. This is a Maibock I’d buy again! (also bought at Walnut Creek Bevmo, like the previous reviewer.)

500mL flip top at Spuyten Duyvil poured into an imperial pint glass with a hazy dark straw color. Aroma is sweat cereal and a German berry-like lager yeastiness. Taste is sweet cereal with that lagered german fruiitness. Just a fine German beer.
