One of the best maibocks i have had. Definantly a comparable seasonal to the oktoberfest and marzan. I liked this alot and recomend Erie brewing companies seasonal maibock if you like this one.

This is by far the best Maibock you will ever drink. I do not understand the other reviews I have read. I base all of my reviews on beers that I have bought a 1/2 keg of for the house. I do not think it is fair to judge any beer on a couple of glasses or bottles. How can you gage its drink ability? A complicated beer will take time to grow on you.

Draught at Penn Brewery. Dull neutral fruits, light sugar, some caramel notes in the malt. A touch of hops. Golden amber clear with a slight haze, and rapidly disspating head. Medium watery body with light-medium carbonation. Starts with cherrywood and mild caramel notes, sweet toasted malts, bit of biscuit. Light vapory notes, sweet throughout. Mild hops that grows a bit more bitter toward the finish. Cherrywood and mild nutty after and touch of sweetness.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2008 [draft - 10th Annual PA Microbrewers Fest, Pennsylvania Brewing Co. - Pittsburgh, PA] Poured a pale gold with a thin white head. Slightly hoppy aroma with a hint of yeast. Flavor was mostly grainy and biscuity with some hoppy aftertaste. Refreshing and smooth with a nice malty hint.

Pee colored with a moderate white head, aroma ... not great, some malts, flavor is light , malty ... refreshing on the palate.. but light... ho hum.. ok , drinkable but not great.
