Americas Mai-Bock

Formerly brewed at Americas Brewpub
Style: Heller Bock
Aurora, Illinois USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

served in a tall pilsner glass. nice copper/orangish color, large foamy head. very malty flavor, carmely. as cornfield described it tastes a bit roasted, but i did not really sense it to be dry, in fact it finished with some subtle sweetness, and while maybe not the best representation of the style, a solid, tasty brew for sure.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2005 It’s a handsome enough pour, bright orange with a tall, creamy head. But it’s wrong. There’s evidence of solid malting, but it’s too dry, too roasted for a bock. There’s an odd bitterness in both the taste and finish. Something is amiss at this brew pub.
