Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors, 16 oz bottle. Dark orange pour, medium thick white head, brief bit of lacing. Aroma of molasses and brown sugar. Sweet flavor dominated by molasses, baked brown bread and cotton candy - maple syrup in the back end. Thickish mouthfeel - good winter warmer qualities.

Jul 6, 2008 Aroma is light fruit with medium malt character. Flavor begins with mostly yeasty fruit characters moving to a medium hoppy finish. I liked the blended transition of this brew. Decent but maybe not worth going out of my way for.

Jul 5, 2008 On tap...nice medium head over a deep amber body. Aroma is very fruity and bready...pleasant. Flavor is fruity and very sweet...full of banana and some orange. Slight hop bitterness at the end. Slightly creamy on the palate and very easy drinking...a nice rendition of the style!

Jun 20, 2008 Golden, nice thick foamy head. Aroma is malty and at times a bit sharp with bourbon notes. Palate is creamy, malty and I taste caramel. Very good.

Jun 19, 2008 16oz. bottle. Fruity, lightly sweet and citric aroma, some mild honey, bready malts, apple and touches of doughy yeast. Clear light-medium amber color with a lasting, foamy, off-white head. Flavor is again lightly fruity and sweet, with a light wash of spicy, citric hop bitterness at the end. Effervescent, thin and semi-dry on the palate, body is light-medium. Very easy to quaff, but not a lot to this one, really, being one of the milder Maibocks I’ve run across. Lacking that particular "heft" I generally seek in the style, I suppose.
