Commercial Description:
The big, malty scent of the Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Maibock is present just above the floral hop nose. The combination of five malts creates a full, smooth texture that yields a clean, dry bitterness. This is a full-bodied beer with a pronounced hop and malt character.
Editor’s note. 2004 and earlier verions were not 100 barrel series, but were simply called Spring Maibock and available on draught and in 12 oz bottles.

[At RBSG 2005] An amber beer with a small beige head. The aroma is very malty combined with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of wood and cararamel, leading to a slightly hoppy end. A great interpretation of a Maibock.

(22oz bottle, RBSG05) Crystal clear nut brown body topped by beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, light nutty. Soft, light-medium body. Pretty one-dimensional.

Clear brownish copper hue, smallish dark egg-shell head. Straight bready caramel nose, leafy and minty hop backing are more abvious than I’d anticipated. Soft mild floral, nutty and fruity palate. Good flavor integration, the higher than average hops are backed by a rather juicy sweet maltiness that is saved by a soft yet efficient small-bubbled carbonation. Not bad for Harpoon.

100 Barrel series: Pours red with a thin off-white head. Smells nutty with some brown sugar notes shining through. Taste is on the sweet end of the spectrum with some minor rosey notes and a semi-bitter finish. This one is definitely more of an amber ale or APA than a bock beer.

I love maibocks, and I loved this one. Pours coppery with aroma of caramel malt, some fruit, hops. Tastes bockish with fruit, hops, and a sweet and bitter finish. Very good.
