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.

clear light orange, thick white foam. mild malty aroma, with apple, pear, some pine, and a bit of brown sugar. a bit sweet. thin texture, and a bit flat. flavor is very pineapple-y, but a bit artificial-tasting, with a fairly bitter finish. this is nice and refreshing, but the flavor is maybe just a bit off.

Pleasant doughy aroma, with some apricot and vinegar. Misty, maplewood color, thin ringing head. Bomber. Average label. Bitter, boozy, some off flavors, grassy overtones. Spritzy carbonation, but fairly heavy-bodied, alcohol finish. Meh. Market Square Liquors.

Aroma is floral and zesty, heavy on the malts, with corn and grainy notes. Appearance is golden-orange and pours with a quick fading fizzy head. A lot of bubbles surfacing but hardly any head at all remaining on top. Flavors are sweet and malty with apricot and peachy fruits, caramel, and a little zip in the finish. After just a few sips this became too sweet and sticky, almost to the point of being unpleasant and hard to drink. I love Smutty but I wasn’t a fan of this one

22 oz bottle. Pours a coppery orange color with a small off white head. Nose is light caramel with some apricot and peach type flavors. Palate is the standard smutty thickness with a nice clean velvety feeling. Flavors are apricot and peach and some light caramel and some sugary sweetness.

22 oz bomber from Spirits Red Bank. Pours a hazy orange/amber with an average to slightly large bubbly mostly white head. Aroma is slightly fruity, notes of green apple and not quite ripe bananas, and lots of grainy malts with a slight touch of bubblegum as well. Thick full syrupy bodied with strong carbonation. Flavor is grainy malts, spicey...perhaps pepper and coriander, yeast. This one was just too dry and spicey when I needed something more cool and refreshing.

Pours a cloudy golden yellow color with a small, foamy off white head. The aroma is sweet with caramel malts up front followed by a touch of spices and floral hops. The flavor follows the sweet theme with toasted caramel up front and joined by coriander, ginger, and other spices. Medium to full bodied, smooth with subtle carbonation. Not bad, but maybe a touch too sweet.

A very tasty and smooth Maibock. Nice malty balance with great flavor. Pours light golden with a short head.

Pours a golden color with a thin white head. The aroma is faint, but it is yeasty and a little fruity. Taste is sweet maltiness, some yeast, and some dark fruit. Mild taste overall.
