Cricket Hill Maibock

Pouring a pure golden color, I thought it was a little light in color to be a Maibock. Aroma is floral meets bready and the taste is very dry. Very clean and easy to drink. Not as sweet as a true Maibock but I still really like this beer. Maybe because it’s more crisp than the usual German-style beer? Honestly though, I think it falls more into(the newer category of) Imperial or Double Pils, as it’s much hoppier and drier than any Maibock I’ve ever tried...........reminded me of Ramstein’s Pale Ale, actually. Forget about labels, and just call it a good beer, okay?

on tap at the brewery. Golden in color with a medium off white head. Aroma is floral hops, dry malts, lightly grainy. Taste is dry, with floral hops, light bready notes, light to moderate notes of grain, with a lightly bitter finish. A decent drinking lager- but really does not remind me much of a maibock. The color could be darker, and it could have been a bit maltier and fruitier. But, it is a clean, crisp, well crafted lager. Maybe they will nail this one on the third try next spring. But, I would definitely not mind drinking this beer for the next couple of months.
