Bayern Maibock

Brewed by Bayern Brewing
Style: Heller Bock
Missoula, Montana USA

Bottle. Pours clear orange with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of hay, toffee, flowers and mint? Medium body and active carbonation. Sweet caramel-coated taste with a crisp finish.

12 ounce bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a thin orange-amber hue with a medium white head. Wheaty nose with some grainy malty toffee. Flat out middle of the road malts in the finish. Flavor was mild and kind of boring. Still not too bad.

Bottle... Poured the tone of cider with a thin head. Aroma is slightly funky, like sugared malt mixed with rotten fruit. Flavors are better though, with refreshing hops and fruity esters and malt that are reminiscent of a barley wine, but way more mellowed out of course. Kind of a Tangy citrus finish.

Draft. Clear orange-amber, dense orange-tinted head leaving early lace. Fruity toffee aroma. Sweet malt (marzipan) and light fruit (apricot) in perfect balance, very flavourful. Moderate bitter finish. Very good.

Brewed in Missoula, Montana. A nice springy bok beer. Pours a sparkling amber, with good flavor throughout. It is a Bayern seasonal. and is available in mid-April through May. Been available in Missoula for a couple weeks now. I like it.

Darker golden color with no head. Caramel malts are strong in the aroma with some sour fruits - maybe apples, a little butter and thats about it. Caramel and light butter, a touch of sour fruit too. Not real hoppy, maybe a little spicy if anything. A little alcohol is detectable too. It is alright.

This could be the finest Heller-Bock beer in the world. I have no recollection of ever drinking a H.B. A well made, malty concoction from the great state of Montana. If you want a craft brewed take on a Killians Red this might be your answer. Overall: too sweet for my blood , more alcohol than I need. If you like sweet, malty and plenty of abv. give it a try.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with kyzr. Pours a clear golden orange brew with an average fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a nice ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, some sweet pears and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied with a slightly sweet caramel malt and toffee that is very enjoyable. Finish continues the sweet flavor and a slight toffee aftertaste. Taste more of the malt than any hop bitterness in this brew.
