Stoudts Blonde Double Mai-bock

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Heller Bock
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

A dark yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit. The flavor is very sweet, which makes it somewhat sticky with strong notes of fruit, amongst those oranges and apples, and with a dry slightly bitter end, where the alcohol also makes it presence known in a subtle way.

Clear amber body with quickly dissipating, small, off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, slight alcohol, moderate sweetness (honey), butter. Taste starts honey, light malty, caramel, then becomes more honey and alcohol interspersed with grassy hoppy bitterness.

On tap at the brew pub. Poured a medium amber color with a small off white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, and light citrus. Tastes of bread and caramel. On the sweeter side. Thinner and somewhat of a watery body.

12oz bottle-pours a white head with gold color. Aroma is medium malt, sweet. Taste is sweet caramel medium malt, secondary hops. Good carbonation.

Clear orange body on which lies a thin off-white film. Aroma is very mild. It seems pretty much limited to honeyish malt and light smokiness. The palate is a bit more expressing. it’s still oriented toward honey, so very sweet, but also grassy and earthy. A gentle bitter touch eases it off in the finish. Texture is oily, yet biting. Thanks Larry!

Bottle... Clear, golden lager with a small, fizzy, white head. Malty nose with notes of honey, caramel and wildflowers. Sweet, honey flavor with caramel and fuzzy fruit. Mild bitterness. Full-bodied and chewy with mild carbonation. Finishes sweet with a hint of earthy bitterness. If you dig malt, you’ll like this spring bock!

I think this has aged a little while before my sampling: Pours a hazy copper orange with a thinly lacing off-white head. Aroma of rich caramel malt with some butterscotch and a hint of noble hops. Body starts lightly malty and sweet turning dry and peppery toward the finish. An interesting and flavorful brew, but could use a little more balance.
