Sprecher Mai Bock

Brewed by Sprecher Brewing Company
Style: Heller Bock
Glendale, Wisconsin USA

Tap at HDG - clear golden beer - flowery, almost perfume-like aroma, with an odd musty quality - thin body - flavor of honey, grain, mild flowers - light and drinkable, but nothing special.

1pint bottle. pours clear golden-amber with creamy off white head. odd aroma of toasted malts, banana, and mold. flavor is toasted malt, sour malt flavors, banana, apple, with a stale grainy finish. ahh, the sourness makes this very unenjoyable.

Able to come across this Maibock just before the month it honors has ended. I am a huge fan of this style and Sprecher has brewed up a great one. Clear, dense copper color with an orange tint. Large, filmy white head with slow carbonation and spotty lacing. Intriguing aroma of sweet, delicate malts, juicy citrus, and fresh flowers. Awesome scent, really sums up what the Spring season is all about. Light yet hearty body, real clean and refreshing. Nice drink after a long warm day. The flavor follows suit with the aroma. Plenty of caramel and nutty malts, real smooth with a nice depth. Citrus zest and floral hop flavors. Balanced and somewhat dry. This is excellent, goodbye May.

The Dan Journal #176. Tasted 5/30/08. Filtered with a honey golden hue. Trace ring of head. Mild nose with hints of honey and grainy. Medium bodied with a crisp effervescence. Grassy and honey. Tight medium hop profile.

Nice deep golden color with an ample off white head. aromas of light hops and malt. Easy thin light body. Pleasant refreshing sweet malt with a little fruitiness. Better than expected.

I’ve lived in Wisc my whole life, and this is the first time I had a Sprecher rbew. Generous almond coloured head, orange-golden coloured body. Roasted malts, carmel and cinnamon in the aroma. midpalate the taste is a little dry and then it finishes firm and well balanced, well integrated hop finish.

Pours a clear deep golden color with orange-amber backgrounds here and there, has a white creamy medium sized head that deflates to a thin covering and leaves some bubbly lacing on the glass , effervescence is persistant, medium or so malt aroma, some faint sweetness but I was expecting more, there are some toasted malt fragrances, flavor of toasted malt and bread, more malt sweetness (some honey sweetness) then what is let on by the nose, some grain in the taste, has a medium or less hop bitterness, malt sweetness is there at the start of a drink but ends quickly with a dry palate and hop bitterness, has a medium mouth feel, I would prefer more malt flavor and a little more sweetness but this was not bad.

Copper colored beer with a nice orange tinted head. Body is almost clear with some active carbonation. Hoppy nose with fruit and just a bit of grapefruit. This is a nicely hopped beer with light fruit and floral notes. There is some nice caramel and pepper spice. Slightly bitter. This is a beer that is more than the sum of its parts. Nothing stands out but everything works well together and makes for a pleasant beer sampling experience.
