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.

22 oz bottle. Clear toasted orange with a bubbly white head. Yeasty orange toffee with fresh grass and oats. Taste conforms it’s Spring! Quenching carb cuts through a slightly oily body with a density that’s substantial but still refreshing. Apricot and unripe melon. Sours with a bit of cherry; finally lemon pith.

A malt drinkable treasure followed by an expected malted down bitterness, caramel and smooth. More German than if German brewed. Great drinkability. Medium mouthfeel.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Hazy orange color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is nice and malty with some spices mixed in as well. Some fruits. Flavor has a fruit sweetness with a light hop flavor mixed in, with a very malty and smooth middle and a slightly spicy but sweet finish.

Tap. Pours a clear orangey amber with a slight, quickly disappearing head. Nose is malty and clean with fruit. Flavor is macerated fruit with a slight hop hit, but ever so slight. This is pretty much a sweet fruited malt attack. Easy to drink and well balanced. Nice session brew.

Cloudy amber body with a medium creamy light tan head. Sweet fruity malt and caramel aroma. Sweet caramel and sugar flavor.

On tap at Barcade: A malty, pretty sweet Maibock. Not overally hopped, but more hops than I expected from the style. Pretty well-balanced. The body color is medium amber, with a small white head. Some citrus and honey in the flavor make it quite pleasant. Refreshing and clean.

On tap at Mile Square in Hoboken. I Really liked this beer. It was sweet and malty, with just the right amount of hops. Very drinkable. Perfect for a session.

22oz - 2007 - Lightly hazed yellow, fizzy white head. The aroma held notes of warmed honey bread with a softer floral and vanilla caramel accent. Soft sweet bread and honey flavors are balanced well with a light peppery citric hoppiness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, bittersweet finish. Well done in my book and quite drinkable...
