Selins Grove Mai-Bock

Draft at brewpub. Poured a cloudy golden in color with a nice medium sized frothy white head with great lacing. Aroma is sweet, bready, with a nice hop presence. Tastes of sweet caramel, candi sugar, moderate spices, bready with a great body and mouth feel. Hops very present in the finish. Nice.

Draft @ Selins Grove. Pours an effervescent, bright golden-orange color; creamy, marshmallow-like head with excellent retention and lacing; gorgeous pour. Basic cereal and fruitiness (a touch overripe) in the aroma; somewhat resigned. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy candy sugar, caramel, and sweet, basic maltiness; kind of heavy in the mouth, lightly carbonated; slightest touches of alcohol. Lengthy finish: some lasting mineral bitterness shows through, with breadiness and yellow fruits.

Pint at Selins Grove. Honey orange colored body with a small, white head. Huge, deep, syrupy nose of sweetened corn, dried leaves, wood, dried vegetables, peppery honey and a touch of that 7.7% alcohol. Thick, chewy and syrupy in the mouth, peppery, spicy and sharp throughout, full body, without a doubt fuller and heavier than it ever needs to be, but it actually tastes very fresh, meaty and fruity, with a sharp orange/caramel malt note throughout.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through the fiirst quarter of the glass. Light, fairly indistinct aroma with a few notes of malt and bread. The flavor begins with some light malt and finishes with some moderate-strong bitterness. Some lingering dryness after the swallow and a bread flavor emerges in the aftertaste as well. This one didn’t really do much for me.

On tap at the Selins Grove Brew fest. Aroma is malt in a vanilla sugar type way, just asolutely massive. The flavor is as intensly malty as a good ipa is hoppy, punches you in the face with toffee, bread, and slightly nutty flavors. medium bodied. pretty good.

Hazy apple juice body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, candi sugar, bread, some earthy/floral, light alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some floral, light orange. Medium body, some stickiness.

On tap at brewpub. Pours a dark gold with a slight haze under a firm and creamy 1 cm white head. Nice sweet malty aroma with some caramel, light alcohol, and bread dough. Flavor is pretty clean with thick caramel malts. Finish was warming, with a light hoppiness. Mouthfeel is thick with minimal soft carbonation yielding a slightly creamy texture. Overal, pretty decent.

Growler thanks to Dickinsonbeer. Hazy amber/orange color with a medium sized white head. Biscuity, malty aroma with just a hint of hops. Malty flavor with some caramel and a nice bitter hop finish.
