Delafield Frühlingzeit Maibock

Brewed by Delafield Brewhaus
Style: Heller Bock
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

Sample tried at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting. This growler was placed at the front main table with no name of the guest who donated it. Pours a clear pale golden brew (like apple juice), with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind no lacing or ring. Aroma of sweet spiced fruit, honey and a touch of caramel. Tasts is light bodied, multi-grain cereal, some fruit and flowery hops. Finish is sweet, smooth and a light caramel aftertaste.

Growler RBSG 2007. Ciderish aroma. Flat body with no head or lace. I’ve never had horse piss before, but this is what I would imagine it would taste like. Bad breath finish. Palate a little flat. It is frustrating that most brewpubs don’t know how to properly fill a growler. Town Hall does it in such a way to maximize the freshness and use a plastic seal on the top to prevent oxidation. By not properly filling growlers, brewers do themselves, and their beers a disservice.

(RBSG07, growler) Clear apple juice body with off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, spice, honey, light orange. Taste is moderately sweet, spicy, some honey, light caramel. Light-medium body.

RBSG07. From clear growler. Pours yellow/orange, clear. Aroma is corny, soft malty. Flavour is mild and slight sweet but still corn. Mild and soft finish. Nice.

RBSG 07 Grand Tasting beer #2 when I saw this, I thought I must have written it down wrong. Was golder than I expected. Lacked flavor.

RBSG 07 Grand Tasting. Bright yellow color with a disappointing nose that didn’t offer anything pleasent. Faint malt flavor that at least wasn’t watery.

A disappointing bock. Gold color. Very light malt and caramel. The flavors are OK ,but this is just too light. A bock needs more flavor and more body.

Best...Maibock....EVER!! Noble Hop Nose, PERFECTLY balanced malt and hop profile with great hop flavor. Definetly Dry hopped. A great head that lasts and lasts. Get This Beer!!
