May 21, 2008 Pours clear golden/amber with a large creamy sudsy white head. Sweet malty aroma with some apples and doughiness. Sugary first taste with some brown sugar, apples, caramel and dough. A little bit of fiery cinnamon. Slight bitter finish. The alcohol is definitely present. Smooth syrupy body with soft carbonation. eh... too sweet and sticky for me.

May 20, 2008 Copper, nice white head. Nice caramel and toasty aroma, spice/herbal hoppiness. Flavor again has some toasted grain and caramel, light citrus and herbal hops to balance. Make a decent gateway brew.

Apr 25, 2008 Pours a clear rich gold color with a decent large bead white head. Aroma is sweet malt and hop spiciness. Taste is a vibrant chewy sweet malt along with almonds, vanilla, and cider. A little of the ABV comes through after the swallow as a pleasant warmth. An exceptional effort.

Apr 22, 2008 A slightly hazy golden color with a thick eggshell head. A little bit of lacing with good lasting power. The aroma is a sort of spicy pilsner nose with some piny hop character. The flavor has a really nice balance of a mild vanilla caramel flavor and a solid bitter character. There is a definite presence of alcohol in the flavor as well. A solid oily texture without much carbonation. Leaves a slight bitterness on the tongue.

Apr 6, 2008 Color of new motor oil with a nice two finger head that does not last. Carbonation is medium at best. Aroma offers hop, and earth. Malt aroma is very subdued. Flavor is a nice balance of malt and hop with some fruit. Some bread and caramel also can be tasted. A nice little zing in the middle of the tongue. The feel is somewhat oily and sticky and is not full bodied as per the commercial description. A nice beer, though.

Mar 27, 2008 This is the beer which I judge all others by. Each spring I watch the local stores for this to hit the shelves and then buy them out. The only thing I would improve on this beer is a bit more aroma, but thats a very minor thing. I have tried several other maibocks as it is my favorite style, and this beer stands alone.

Mar 1, 2008 Pale orange yellow color, minimal head. Artificial carbonation. Flavor is light malt and pale hop. Typical average Maibock type of beer. Light palate. Not much to say here, seems pretty average for the style.

Feb 15, 2008 Appearance: Pours a light orangey body topped with a thin, white ring of bubbles.
Smell: Aroma of citrus, light grapefruit, with a bit of butterscotch candy and a dash of apple juice.

Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness.
Drinkability: About as fun as being eaten by sand weevils.
