Nov 3, 2008 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Clear amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of malts and caramel, a bit of yeast. Flavour is a bit fruity, malty and caramel sweetness, dry slightly hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Very average.

Nov 1, 2008 I liked this beer quite a bit more than I thought I would. (No idea actually why I thought I wouldn’t like it). Anyway, it was pretty delicious! Pours caramel amber with a medium body. Aroma is malty, grainy, nutty and pleasant. Flavor is much of the same, with a mild hoppiness. The whole beer is much richer than I anticipated. I eagerly refilled my glass.

Nov 1, 2008 Comes out of the bottle a dark, appetizing, clear amber with a very thick and fluffy yellowish off-white head. Aroma is strong and mainly malty with fruity and hoppy hints. Mouth-filling flavor is edgy, malty, with a good hoppy undertone and just the right amount of bitterness. Texture is lively and edgy, and it leaves a bitter but satisfying aftertaste.

Oct 31, 2008 Cloudy amber with a dense head. Malty aroma with notes of nuts and bread. The flavour starts out sweet with corn and yeast dominating, then it continues into a bitter ending - way more bitter than the normal Maibock.

does not count  Oct 30, 2008 I have always enjoyed this beer. When I began drinking it about 8 years ago, my palate was undeveloped and I thoght it was a bit harsh. As I have matured, this is the beer I drink more than any other. (And in frighteningly large quantities) I recommend it for those just starting in craft beer, or for those who are tired of the rampant hopping of current craft ales and just need a break to an easy drinking, well balanced beer with just the right amount of bite.

Oct 30, 2008 Pours a deep amber with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is sweet and malty all the way around. Flavor is sweet, but mildly hopped and well balanced for a maibock.
