May 28, 2004 Slighlty hazy golden amber with a small off-white head. Very nice fruity malt nose, berries primarily. Flavor is also quite fruity, as with some other beers from these guys it is not really to style but it is still a decent beer. Medium body with a lingering fruity finish.

May 20, 2004 Cloudy, golden appearance with a fruity aroma that was reminiscent of ripe mangos. Lively carbonation fuels the fairly high abv. Short lived, malty finish.

May 3, 2004 Was rather puzzled by this one. The line up at DeGroens tends to the German side, if by just by name. Poor choice of malt is my speculation. Sweetness is there, but character and body that follows is not. Was a nice brew to a degree (and yes, Kathy, where DID the strawberry come from?). with this strength I would much rather be drinking another of their beers.

May 1, 2004 By chance this made its seasonal debut last night when I visited the brewery. Hazy amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, strawberry, biscuit. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, grain, and not much else until the finish, which has some alcohol, some cereal, and some astringency. Medium body, slightly sticky.

Jun 13, 2003 Light in color with a sugary aroma. Predominant alcohol-malt character. OK.

Jun 10, 2003 This is a great maibock. Wow. Light gold in color. Nice white head. Clear, super crisp. Fruity aroma with pear, apple? Alcohol is nicely masked with great malting and then the hops zoom in. Fun beer if you can find it.

Sep 19, 2002 Updated: Jun 15, 2003Update: 06/03. Big beautiful white head. When cold, all this shows is alcohol. Fruitiness comes out a bit as it warms up. Lighter and a bit less rich than I'd like in Maibock, but really pretty good. Old: See Venom's excellent description. Sampled at the brewery, where two construction workers were drinking this 6.8% brew out of 1 liter mugs. They had several. Fitting tribute to a fine beer, I thought.

Aug 17, 2002 Very light gold. Nice, thick head. Odd carbonation, tasted almost like it was nitro poured. Noticeable German hops give a slightly bitter backbone. Main flavor is a apple/peachy maltiness. Quite refreshing.
