May 27, 2008 Golden-amber colour. Big caramel and fresh bread nose with just a hint of toastiness and alcohol. Full and firm, with ample toasty components. Starts well, but fades in the finish...it dries out, bringing some graininess to the fore, with lots of drying alcohol at the end.

Apr 29, 2008 (12oz bottle) Small off-white head atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, lime, some honey, caramel, candi sugar. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, grassy/lime, some bread, light apple, alcohol. Medium body, lightly sticky.

Apr 11, 2008 Bottle... Clear copper/amber lager with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is all about toffee and biscuit malts fetched together with citric, acidic hops. Also, hints of pineapple and apricot. Full-bodied and chewy with medium carbonation. Toffee and pineapple sweetness dominate, but good mineral bitterness provides near-perfect balance. Lengthy, grassy, medium bitter finish. Nice Maibock!

Apr 24, 2008 12oz bottle pours a clear amber orange color with a small head. Nose of oily corn, honey and dried leaves, with a similar flavor - a bit oily, fuller on the palate than it needs to be (typical in American maibock) - but still nice enough and very drinkable. Fresh corn, crackers, honey, malt, etc, with a small presence of hops, just as needed. Not a bad beer, but it’s really difficult to find anything that stands out.
