4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A lot of apple, orange, honey, and wheat flavor. Bright, accentuating, combo of hops and carbonation. Perfect amount of sweetness. Peach esters noted after beer warmed. Plenty of malt fullness, round mouthfeel. One of the best maibocks I’ve ever had.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark golden brown. Floral aroma. Modestly hopped with little malt presence, giving
it a dry, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Its dryness was almost reminiscient of a dry red wine, although its not ’winey’ like the powerful beers of the world. Still, at the bottom of the glass I detected hints of grape at the front of the tongue - giving it more complexity than I at first thought - and after finishing it, I had the same buzz and aftertaste that I usually have after drinking a very dry cabernet.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Lancaster location on Memorial Day 2011.
Pours a clear golden color with a good white head with moderate retention and a ring or so of lacing on the way down. Thin white collar throughout. The nose brings light floral hops. Also, some bread and accompanying mild sweetness. The flavor brings very light floral and earthy hops along with a nice bready character and also light sweetness. Really fantastic balance between these three components. Light to medium body and a dry, crisp finish with nice bitterness. One of the best, if not the best, version of the style I’ve come across. Well done, Iron Hill Lancaster.
