3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled on draft at the Rivertowne Pub in North Huntingdon PA this beer poured a dark golden-amber color with a small white head. The aroma was light sweet, and tangy malts with a hint of fruitiness. The flavor was tangy, malty and slightly fruity with a hint of hops and bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel was fairly thick.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured a dark gold with a creamy white head, aroma of malt, bread, sweet, faint hop floral and honey fragrances,
a sour bite, little sweetness, some malt flavor, not much malt flavor or sweetness, no bread flavors, the flavors were not in line with what my nose was telling me,
disappointing, this was lacking in malt and sweet flavor, appeares to be more sour bitterness then 24 IBUs, medium mouth feel, this might have been an old bottle, how long does a Mai-Bock stay fresh for?
for now I would not recommend, I will try more next Spring to see if it is better.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
A nice sweet honey nose is a pleasant beginning. Flavor is also honey but with a few other things going on, none of which are pronounced. A bit of caramel, some bread and spice can be detected with some concentration. An effervescent feel is the best part of the beer. It lights the top of the tongue up. More malty sweetness shows up as the beer warms.

An unremarkable beer. Muddy orange body with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is grain, some citrus, honey, and caramel. Flavor sustains the sweetness of the caramel. Light to medium body, gentle carbonation. Nothing special.
