Had at the Northgate brewpub. Bronze-amber color with decent head. Nice graininess in the nose and medium malt. Flavor has a similarly appealing graininess and malt, but with some tannic sourness. Aroma is a bit better than flavor. A bit to tannic, but otherwise this is well balanced and pretty decent.

Pour is warm golden with a thin off white head...smell is lightly toasty with some caramel sweetness...taste is very sweet with caramel and grain...chewy and syrupy mouthfeel...

This draft brew from the brewery in Chicago poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated golden brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty sweet and dough. The crisp semi-thick mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and sweet. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.

Rather pale in color, kind of a clear golden/amber with a one-finger, white head in this over-iced glass. Temperature-inhibited aromas initially emerge as stale, candy-sweet malts tempered by mild roasts. Nice balance to the flavor, to the point where I can actually <u>tell</u> this is a Maibock... sweet malts leading to a mildly bitter finish. However, this is too overtly sweet, with a noticable alcohol kick. <br /><br /><font size=-4>On tap at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3104><u>RAM Brewery</u></a>, Schaumburg, IL 60173</font><br />

On tap - Ram Fishers, IN - served in frozen pint filled to the brim - Aroma of toasted caramel and toffee malts. Pours transparent dirty water brown with no head or lacing. Flavor matches aroma with an overall sweetness. Palate is clean and a touch sticky. Not offensive, but boring.
