| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Light bronze, soapy, somewhat dense but eventually dying head. Eclectic nose of sweet doughy malt/caramel, minerals, assertive hops and more. Medium bodied, smooth, bitter. alcohol shows just a tad. Malts don’t really make presence known as they should but come out a little more as brew warms (as does the balance) and the palate adjusts to the hops maltdog (518), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Foggy amber, gently carbonated, small creamy head. Malty, candy/toffee and noble hop aroma. Abundant sweet caramelly malt flavor, almost buttery. The palate is rich, yet sharp with fruity acidity. An okay dimensionless maibock, nothing more.

Easy drinking and soft mouthfeel. Medium amount of hops. A little thin in the finish but a really smooth maibock.

| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Sort of odd aroma of candied fruit that is starting to ferment. Orange to orange-red color with a thin head Strange metallic aftertaste sort of clases with the lingering sweetness. Overall, not a very pleasing combination of sensory experiences. I will retase this one next srping, since this may have turned since it is now mid- October. Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Bottle courtesy of mother in law. Cracked this one open when the Brew Crew clinched the wild card in the NL. Milwaukee brew for Milwaukee win. Fermented fruits and molasas aroma. Dark gold body with dirty white head. Sweet cough syrup flavor and somewhat metalic. Sticky syrupy sweetness left for aftertaste. Thanks mom and the Brewers. KyotoLefty (1461), Kyoto, Japan
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Sep 1, 2008 Aged and also dry hopped. Light amber color, low, lace head. Aroma rather light. Cereals, grain, apples, some hops. Not very appealing. Very fruity flavor, but not much else. Sweet, with apples, cherries, a bit of hops. Slightly more hoppy in the finish, with fruit. Dry. Very straight-forward, uninteresting malt character. Not much going on here. Like a slightly sweet, too fruity amber lager. Too much fruit, no complexity. Drinkable and un-offensive, but not a traditional maibock taste at all.
