| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Deep golden color with a small white head. Some hints of DMS and light fruit, but the pale malt still overcomes these in the aroma. Plenty of pale malt in the flavors along with a touch of noble hops. japewang (42), USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Pint at Steam Plant Grill, Spokane, Wa. This was a very nice low malt Maibock. That was a pleasant surprise. I was not in the mood for an overly sweet maibock. Appearance was deep copper-brown, not much of a head. Paired well with Bison Burger on a wheat bun. Would’ve had another but wanted to try a different ale. Skyview (4022), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 13, 2007 Fourth stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Though this brew was not available on tap, the brewmaster had a "stashed" growler of their maibock and allowed me to have a taste at the downtown brewpub. Pours a caramel amber brew with a creamy off-white head with terrific retention. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, flowery hops and a touch of sweet pears. Taste is smooth creamy, medium bodied with a very light carbonation. Flavor has a rich and sweet caramel malt character. Finish is slightly sweet with a good balance of bitterness and sweet malt. Reading some of the previous review, it seems that the growler aging has a very favorable effect to this seasonal brew. Braudog (3753), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 22, 2007 Draft 10 oz glass at the Steamplant - Spokane. Medium amber with a gluey head. The aroma is malty and inviting. Onto the tongue this is rich and caramelly with a fruity side and almost a pear essence. Can sense the slightly higher gravity in this meaty brew. Good.

Nose of light sweet candy, chalk and guava. The flavor isn’t pronounced but it has a solid body to it. I like the beers here, good base malts.
