Beer Bad?? Buffy want Beer??? In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Beer Bad" I think this is the beer that Xander serves Buffy and many others in a pub near the Sunnydale University campus. The beer, however, dumbed down all the intellectual college kids and made them act like cavemen (and cave women..). The best line of that episode is when Buffy, in a drunken state, exclaims, "BUFFY WANT BEER!!". I’m not sure which came first, the episode of Buffy or the real beer itself.

Draft at TAP NY. Pours cloudy blonde/copper with a small off-white head. Some mild hoppy aroma. Mmm...very good. Sweet, malty, grainy in the start with hops in the finish. A very good complex maibock.

Sweet, orange, citrus, hoesey aroma. Hazy straw orange colour. Orange-tan head with some lacing. Nice malty flavour and good bitterness. Very well balanced. Excellent carbonation - slightly prickly but right at the threshold. Medium body and refreshing mouthfeel. Very enjoyable. On tap at TapNY festival.

TAP NY sample. Cloudy golden, nice lacing. Delicate, light floral nose with hints of honey and vanilla. Rich body, very malty and caramel-filled, just the right level of finishing bitterness to keep it from cloying. Very good, perhaps the best of the many Maibocks at the fest.

I quite liked this beer...on draft at the LI beer festival. It was full-bodied and hoppy, with a nice pleasant dose of herbs and grass. Slightly sweet, but finishes strong and clean . It’s refreshing too. Not too light, not too heavy. Great balance of citrus and sweet orange peels in the aroma.
