3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slightly hazy amber body with a short-lived soupy head. The aroma is nicely malty. Touch of orange-peel like fruit. The flavor is lightly hoppy and just enough hops to balance the malt with the slightest bitterness. Very quaffable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Small tan head thats short lived but keeps a thin covering atop a clear copper hued body. Lightly sweet malts in the nose with faint vinous and honeyish notes as well. Body is medium, lightly creamy on the palate. Sweet malts and honey flavors with a light graininess. A small astringency shows as it warms. Finish is sweet.

Capital Maibock has a slight sweet malty and floral hop aroma. The color is a golden brown with a quickly diminishing off white head. The flavor is a slight roasted malt and hop. The body is medium.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
I like almost every one of this brewers products, but not this one so much. VERY watered down version of a bock...pallid maltiness, and half-hearted hopping. I do detect a fruiy flavor (raisins?) that helps. But it does not excite me.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to my Secret Santa, I think. He sent me so many beers its hard to keep track of them all. Bottle poured a nice hazy amber orange with a thin cream head. Aroma is a slightly sweet caramel malt with a tiny bit of spice. Flavor is really nice, fruity, hearty and some grain flavor to it. Palate is smooth and really unoffending. A solid beer, very drinkable and quite tastey.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Orange amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of bready and sweet malt, yeast and alcohol. Flavor starts with a spicy hit of alcohol and hops and segues nicely to the malt. Medium, slightly oily body with a nice spicy finish. A very good bock.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear copper in color, no head. The nose is pretty much malts and yeast and some grains. The taste is at first spicy then goes to grains, yeast and malts. There is quite a bit of an alcohol kick to it and is probably what provides the spicyness. Overall, somewhat uneventful but pleasant.
