This beer rocks!
Deep, beautiful, clear orange/amber brew.
The aroma is of white wine, caramel and sweet, rich malt.
The flavor is excellent. Fruity and vineous up front. A touch too sweet, but a tart, acidic, yeasty and hoppy backside keeps this beer from becoming cloyingly so.
Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, surprisingly dry, acrid finish. World-class beer!

Tap @ GIBC, RBSG2003. Sweet and salty flavors combine in a traditionally bodied maibock. Aroma is fresh and clear but not strong at all, with tiny caramel hints poking through. Hop presence difficult to discern.

A faint emanation of smoke garnishes the evenfall, as an earthy hop mist burdens the cantaloup field...Sadly, this fine moment slowly disappears into the giant hand of tasteless darkness and leaves the buds nostalgic...
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Jokes (1453) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUN 7, 2003
Pours a nice, light amber color. Sweet malt and light fruit dominate the flavor of this maibock. Really much better than the Rock Bottom offering. Fruity and sweet to start with a nice, refreshing hop kick in the finish, that provided a nice bitterness. Not extraordinary, but still tasty.
