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 in trade from rbuckstar. Thanks man!
Pours a rich butter caramel color with a small head. Smell is toasty, tart, almost nutty malt. Taste is nice and refreshing but with crisp, tart maltiness. Biscuity and bready and very nice and flavorful. Good body and solid carbonation. Easily my favorite of this style, and one I would enjoy trying again.

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.

courtesy of oteyj. nice bubbly head, great lacing. beer is a hazy amber coloration. aroma of orange peel, spice, and yeast. flavor is complex- starts very smooth, then an intense flavor of sweet molasses and a hoppy finish. mouthfeel is nice, my first heller bock and I liked it a lot, really nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, medium orange color with a thick beige head. Tons of lacing. Earthy aroma with caramel malt and yeast notes. Flavor has a nice mixture of spices to go with the malt and yeast tastes. Pleasant and long lasting aftertaste. Slight hop bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Pours a light amber with small white head. Aroma and flavor strongly of floral and citrus hops, also some spices and molasses. This reminded me of an american pale ale, actually. I thought the hops and malt flavors blended really well together. An excellent beer!

Pours a nice medium gold with a tall foamy white head. Aroma is of honey and yeast with a few floral hops. Initial taste is a very smooth light honey and spicey, maybe peppery, flavor.The finish is reminiscent of a Belgian yeast mixed with some of those same floral hops. Overall it’s a very good and smooth beer.

2007 Bottle. Pours clear orange with a thick creamy white head. Possibly the most powerful honey aroma I have ever smelled. Flavor of honey, molasses, and caramel. Hides its alcohol well. Nice.

A clear hazelnut color with a small beige head that becomes blotchy. Fruity and grainy aroma. Interesting flavors. Wood flavor, banana, medicinal, alcohol and a nice mix of hops (especially for the style). This is a sweet beer. A malty finish. This beer is all over the place which, to me, is always a fun drinking experience. Long lasting aftertaste is spicy hops.
