Draft at GB - Columbus. Poured dark amber with an average frothy white head that lasted with fair lacing. Solid balanced citrus hop and banana malt aroma. Medium body. Moderate balanced smooth flavor with a small banana citrus finish of average duration. Good brew, Chris.

Slightly hazy copper fluid with a lasting head of white foam. Nose is a little fruit with some hop tang. Taste is initially mildly sweet with citrus and a good alcohol warming in the finish. Mouthfeel is fluid smooth. Finishes just a little sharp. Very nice and refreshing brew.

Draught, Seattle Fully hazy orange-amber; little yellowish rim. Very bready, bit sour bread-like, citrussy acidity>. Sweet taste with only a citrus flavour, no acidity here. In the background some sweetness, but without the bready character. Bit burning MF; medium bodied, bit to the "smooth" side. Bit unidimensional, not very heartlifting.

On draught at the Columbus brewpub’s Maibock Tapping Party. Hazy light amber/orange color with a medium thick off-white head that lasts fairly well. Earthy malt and floral hops aroma. Medium-bodied with a fairly bitter character. Flavors of malt, grain and fruit are counterbalanced by an indistinct bitterness. The finish is fruity and still bitter. Not too bad really, just needs better balance.

Draft - Copper body and big head. Sweet malty aroma. Fruity malty flavor. Overall and excellent beer, just a tad too sweet.

(Draft: Gordon Biersch Brewing Co. in San Diego, CA) I tend to like Maibocks, but this one is subpar. Lightly sweet nose isn’t very aromatic at all, no matter how much I try to squeeze some aroma out of this beer. Moderately sweet, kind of sugary, very fruity, malty, but fairly bitter in comparison to the sweet malt, and while I like bitterness, this is a bit astringent. Pretty apparent alcohol in the flavor as well. Soft, creamy palate, but the highly carbonated mouthfeel disrupts it, as does the somewhat unpleasant bitterness in the finish. Bright amber color. Smallish off-white head fades to a halo with some wisps in the center. Drinkable, but not memorable.

Very decent beer, but all in all none too exciting, leaving the action in the airport I tried it in vying for my attention

on tap in San Diego, California / it’s alright--kind of boring. malty, slightly fruity, a bit thin, and a bit reminiscent of a wit.
