Had this one at the Ale Street News dinner at the Hilton, Short Hills N.J. They had it on draft out of a 1/6 keg. It was the talk of the night. Delicious. Ramstein is known for their wheat beer variety who knew thay would have made an delicious Mai-Bock. Nice and mellow. This beer weighed in around 8.7abv. Though it was very well balanced.

Also had this New Jersey beer at AleSt.News dinnner at the Hilton for the the first time.Poured a light amber with hints of citrus and malts.I really liked this beer and its style.

12oz handbottle, courtesy of artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Pours a hazy, orange-amber color; thin line of off-white bubbles at the perimeter. Pleasant, dried fruit and candy sugar aroma; reasonably dense and chewy. Light carbonation. Medium-to-full, velvety mouthfeel: sugary and dense dried fruit maltiness; some toasty vanilla and light citrus; excellent taste and density for a maibock. Lengthy, candy sugar and lightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden body with a white head. Grainy malty aroma, some light fruity esters with hints of toffee, citrus, and apples. Very flavorful with etoh latent fruits. Chewy with some unrefined sugars to finish. Good brew.

Finely handbottled. Golden raisin, strawberry, caramel, honey, candied fruit peels in the aroma; rather syrupy in sweetness with a bit of cotton candy. Flavor is a lovely kind of sweet grassiness lending some greenness and youth to these sugary, malty tones. Cotton candy, vanilla, pastry crust, and basic doughnut flavor; full, sweet nuttiness of pistachio flowering in the mid palate. Texture is medium bodied and fairly watery; clean maltiness and plenty of powdered sugar. Wet graininess and caramel sweetness in an unimposing finish. Sprightly, pleasant springtime offering. Thanks Andrew!

Pours hazy amber with small white head. Aroma is honey, biscuity, dark fruit and spices. Taste is sweet with a caramel backbone. Very easy to drink.

Sweaty, malt aroma. Dark, golden with tan head that recedes slowly. Quite bitter, hoppy and crisp. Lighter body then expected. Sort of like a pils/kolsch bock. On tap at TapNY festival.
