Commercial Description:
Maibocks are a traditional Teutonic seasonal specialty. We brew ours to be hugely malty and subtly finished with a variety of continental hops, with an eye-pleasing russet brown color.

Bottle 08’. Amber pour with nice bone white head. Nice hop spice and baked goods flavor. Sweet and well balanced. Perfect carb and medium body. I shared this with some friends who are not beer fans and they enjoyed it. Really well done brew.

Bottle. 2008 vintage. Pretty orange-amber. Tall fluffy white head. Aroma is caramel, honey, spicy and floral hops and soft grassy notes. Some bready notes as well. Taste is grassy and floral with spicy hops, caramel, dark bread, soft yeast and honey. Some buttery notes too. Gets sweet in spots but then has some herbal and floral notes coming through. Maybe a buttered and honeyed biscuit with flowery hops could describe this. Body is medium to medium-full with a strong creamy carbonation. The end brings more bread, caramel, honey, butter, soft fruit, sweet malts, grass and spicy hops. Tasty beer!

Bottle (2008). Pours deep orange/gold with a huge peach colored head. Aroma is clean sweet malt with honey and caramel dominating, accompanied by bready and earthy notes. The body is smooth. Flavor is sweet malt, again, honey, caramel, and bread. Also has a light yeasty, earthy, and even fruity side to it. I get a bit of peach and citrus. Very nice.
