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.

Jul 15, 2008 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.

Jun 16, 2008 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.

Jun 2, 2008 Maibocks are probably my least favorite of bocks. 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.

May 6, 2008 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.

Apr 26, 2008 Brewed in Missoula, Montana. A nice springy bok beer. Pours a nice amber, with good flavor throughout.
It is a Bayern seasonal. and actually is available in mid-April. Been available in Missoula for a couple weeks now. I like it.
