Mar 15, 2005 On tap at Brocache in Madison. This beer didn’t impress me as much as other Capital brews. Kind of in the middle, perhaps it has more to do with the style than the beer. Dark amber in appearance, small white head. Suprisingly hopp-y for a bock. It did have good acidity and a nice finish. I guess mainly the flavor didn’t do much for me.

Mar 13, 2005 MIld aroma and flavor. Malty and quite sweet. Hint of citrus and ends with a nice hop kick.

Mar 10, 2005 Updated: May 17, 2007On tap at the Tree: Orange with a creamy white head, this has some sweet caramel scents with a dusting of floral hops. Malty yet crisp, this also has a slight fruitiness to it, followed by a crisp, snappy finish. Those Capital folk are good bockers. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Mar 7, 2005 On tap at the brewery. One of my favorites that I had that day. Glowing orange color with a creamy tan head. Smells as expected - caramel malts and right levels of carbonation. Sweet, clean, crisp and malty. Elements of grass, lemons and cedar. Damn good beer. Hands down the best maibock I’ve ever had.

Mar 2, 2005 Golden color with a slight amber shade. White head quickly disappears. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is more sweet malt with some fruit notes and a short, spritzy hop finish for a bit of balance. Very smooth and drinkable.

Feb 25, 2005 Thanks to Jewedekind for this. I love Maibocks, and this is my second of 2005. Pours copper, with a good sized white head. Aroma of malt, some hops, apricot, floral esters. Tastes malty, with a solid honey/caramel element backed up with that great bockish finish. Smooth and oh-so-drinkable. Yeah man!

Feb 17, 2005 Bottle sample. Aroma is malty. It’s kind of difficult for me to discern any other aroma. Pours a golden brown with a medium white-beige head. It’s lighter than I would expect, but rich and malty. Not my favorite bock, but more of a "session" bock for me. I very much enjoyed the other 5 as well.
