Commercial Description:
The origins of Bock beer can be traced back over 600 years to the town of Einbeck, Germany. The great taste and aroma of fresh malt are the main flavor components of this style, but the hops, though still in the background, also play an important role by not allowing the malt to completely dominate the palate. These deep golden colored lager beers were made to replace the darker winter brews and the name Maibock refers to the month of May when these springtime beers made their debut.

On tap @ brewery. Amber color with a thin off-white head. Mild aroma of grains, noble hops. Taste isn’t really suggestive of a maibock, more like an ale - light grains, a small yeast component, very slight spice. Not that great.

On tap at Bean and Barrel. The color was a golden/orange. The head was thin, off-white and fizzy. The aroma was yeasty but lacking. The flavor was yeast, citris, and some hops. The palate was thin-bodied but smooth. The finish was abrupt. This beer is good for a refreshing beer during those hot summer days.

On tap at Bean and Barrel. Pours a coppery amber with a fair consistency. The head is thin, white, and frothy. The aroma is sweet and has some sweet fruit notes. The flavor is really sweet, some fruit that I can’t place my finger on, some slight hop, and maybe corny flavors. The palate is clean and cool. Very refreshing and palatable.

From notes 5/17/05: Pours a soft golden orange with a thin yet fluffy off-white head. Little lacing. Aromas are mild with a subtle toffee malt scent and an underlying herbal hop presence. Flavors follow suit with caramel and toffee notes, with flowery and herbal hop tones close behind. Aftertaste has some more noticeable heftier malt character. Modest mouthfeel. Drinkable and easygoing. Obivously softer and milder than their heavier To Hell ’N Bock.
