2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft @ North Wales location. Pours a bright, clear golden-orange color; thin, creamy white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Wet malts, red fruits, and touches of sugar in the aroma. Medium mouthfeel: chewy basic sugars, wet maltiness, and some fruit; slightly one-dimensional malt profile; lacks depth, and generally uninspired; stickiness detracts from overall drinkability. Medium finish: toasted malts, sugar, and basic wet malts; slightly rough and husky.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft: Poured a golden color with not much head. The aroma was of some citrus and malts. The flavor was somewhat malty and sweet with a nice clean finish. Overall, another great beer from I.H.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear golden yellow color with no head. Malts, and yeast comprise the aroma with malts, yeast, and some citrus balance on the palate. Nice spring beer.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the North Wales location. Poured a deeper and clear golden color with a very small sized head. Aroms of citrus, bread, and malty. Tastes of cookie dough, breadiness, and all around ’malty’. Some alcohol in the finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Lancaster location. Pale golden beer. Aroma is lightly honeyish and sweet. Clean bready maltiness, a kiss of sulphur and a light minerally bitterness. Fresh and sweet and a pretty solid bock.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 29, 2011 As the other review mentioned, I thought this was a nice "mellow" beer. Light brown color with a little head. I’d like to have this one again. Very smooth going down...just like most of the other Iron Hill brews. Nice balance of sweetness and hops. UPDATED May 2011 - Media location. Intensely grainy. Like chewing on barley and corn. Not a lot of that light fruity character that is present in most Maibocks. Not all that refreshing. Bumped down somewhat from original 3.8.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Phoenixville location. Pours a translucent golden orange with a smaller white creamy lightly lacing head. Aroma of malty sweet toasted malts and light citrus. Flavor of malty sweetness, light citrus, toasted malts and hints of alcohol.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at North Wales. Pours a bit on the light side of the style- deep gold, mostly clear- some hazy and a moslty white fluffy head. Aroma is a bit light- some sweet and nutty malts, lightly toasted wheat bread, and hints of floral and herbal hops. Flavor is again a bit light for the style, but had some nice doughy character, light toast malts, some bread, and light on the hops. Cool solid smooth mouthfeel and goes down easy. Nice spring/summer lager.
