Fearless Maibock

Brewed by Fearless Brewing Company
Style: Heller Bock
Estacada, Oregon USA

Draught at the Lucky Lab Beer Hall. Medium amber, with a thin, bubbly head. Metallic, fruity aroma. Flavors of tobacco, some fruit, smoke. Wacky and interesting. Not too bock-like but original, with some alcohol noticeable.

I know this brew was hyped up a lot, and I was really eager to try it, but it seemed ok to me. Tap @ Fearless... Poured pale gold with a white head. Aroma of berries. Flavors of malt and berry fruits, with crackers and hops and corn. Finished with malt that’s typical in lagers.

Delicious, a little bigger in style than I was expecting, but I like that and it works very well for this particular beer and is very well done. Clear and golden will a small ring of foam and great light but scant lacing. Flavor is sweetly malty, lightly spicy with just a hint of banana esther fruitiness. Smooth, luscious on the palate and very easy to drink. A great beer for spring.
