UPDATED: JAN 20, 2004 Decent Maibock take-off. Fairly rich, fruity malt flavor, and nice smooth body.

it has some nice character to it, but falls short of being fantastic. malts are meduim sweet with a touch of nuttiness. slight hoppy bite

corny, almost vinegary nose. Sweet corny flavor, Sickly sweet finish. Bah. Body is OK, but I'd like it a bit heavier.

From a bottle poured an color with a fair amount head. Malty toasted flavor with a quick finish.

Bottle. "Mardi Gras Bock". Decent, but kind of plain. Sweeter than I initially expected, but decent none the less. My initial reaction was that I could tell this was an abita beer as it shared a bit of the "purple haze" taste when I first cracked into it.

medium amber body with minimal head..aroma of sugar, honey, grass, and berry..flavor is grassy and heavy in citrus, with definite clove and spice...

Pours rich amber with very little head and what was there is gone in 30 seconds. Caramel and sweet fruit such as peach, plum and apple is the aroma along with some roast malt. Taste is toasty, malty and pretty sweet but not sticky. The body is pretty good, but overall it’s decent.

Draft. Pours a light amber color with a small white head. Aroma of pale malts, grain, and some light caramel. Flavor is malty sweet with caramel, grains and a touch of hops with a medium body and a dry bitter finish.
