3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Good beer. Appearance is a light amber/golden color with an orange hue. The aroma is full of carmel, citrus, and yeast. The taste is very similar. It is a well balanced beer but doesn’t do anything to stand out. I would like to try double dead guy next based on tasting this.

341ml bottle. Pours a hazy light amber, nice off-white head that settles to a nice lacing. Mellow citrus, yeast, and bread aroma, smooth/creamy mouthfeel, not much of any overwhelming taste but a very slight hopiness for the finish, dries out the mouth nicely. Overall like the beginning and the end but between there is something lacking. Still haven’t had this in a long time and need to pick up a few when I feel like liquid dough :)

Deep amber color. Thin head. Malty aroma, bread, herbs, citrus. Slightly sweet on front of palace with a bit of hops on the finish. Very unique beer.

SCHIUMA:
bianca, buona presenza, persistenza media, non molto compatta
COLORE:
arancio scuro, tendente al marrone, leggera velatura ma senza residui
INTENSITA’ / FINEZZA:
abbastanza intensa con spettro ampio, giocando sul contrasto malto-luppulo
AROMI:
malto, caramello, erba
GUSTO:
dolce di malto tostato e caramello, miele
RETROGUSTO:
un finale amaro di luppolo, piuttosto erbaceo ma molto equilibrato, non pungente che si fonde molto bene con il dolce dei malti che torna senza scomparire
CORPO:
corpo medio, morbida in bocca, carbonatazione medio-bassa
Ottima birra, nota di merito all’equilibrio fra dolce e amaro che si alternano dando un buon dinamismo in bocca senza stancare. Rispetto ad una classica maibock tedesca, il malto non domina prepotentemente, 6.5 % alcol quasi inavvertibili; d’altra parte si sentono i luppuli classici degli stili americani, con un amaro erbaceo pronunciato, però in questo caso non pungente e molto ben dosato. Birra che siddisfa, molto godibile anche se un po’ lontano da quello che ci si aspetterebbe da una maibock - poco alcolica, malto non dominante e corpo leggero. Ne giova comunque la bevibilità.

Tasted on 3/31/11 from a 12oz bottle at Inovasi. Pours clear burnt orange with an average beige head that leaves thin but even lace. The nose is more malty and fruity than anything else, with caramel, bread, and fresh orange, along with herbal and dusty hops. The flavor is orange and caramel up front, moving to grapefruit, orange peel, bread, and a nice bitterness. The body is medium with average carbonation and a long finish that features orange peel bitterness.

Aroma is of honey malt and a bit of Saaz hops. Pours a reddish golden color. Flavor is honey grainy malt and slightly bitter hops. This beer is very smooth and the flavor is very well balanced.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate caramel-brown color with a light tan head and a bit of lacing. The nose brings some light floral hops over a body of caramel and some lightly-sweet bready malt. The flavor is a bit bready with some yeast characteristics. The body is medium with good carbonation. Overall, one of the first craft beers that I had, but not something that impresses me terribly these days.
