12oz bottle into a pint glass. The Maifest I had was a blonde dopplebock. It was tasty, but there are better ones out there.

DrnkMcDermott (2393) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - JUL 21, 2009
12 oz. bottle. Golden pour, tinges of red highlight. Thin, steady head of lager foam. Sweet, malty smell. Nice malty taste, just a little bit thick, with an underlying touch of honey. Just enough German hops to lend notes of black pepper. Impressions of a whiskey & water, plus a little bit of red apple.

tmoreau (1269) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - JUN 9, 2009
Sample at the end of it’s tenure at the Freight House, Stillwater, MN. Poured a golden, fairly clear hue, with a white, modest head and lacing because of the plastic cup. The aroma was lightly bready, light fruit, citrus and spice. The flavor was also malt, spice and lightly dry into the finish. Clean and quaffable.

bluemooner (422) - Isanti, Minnesota, USA - APR 21, 2009
Pours a light, cloudy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of light malt and citrus with some hops. Tastes rather sweet with hints of citrus, hops, malts, some caramel, apples, and light earthiness. Decent beer overall.

OD40oz (708) - Box Elder, South Dakota, USA - APR 17, 2009
poured a goldish amber with a decent off white head. Sweet smell with a malty taste. Not too bad but not very impressive either.

BustedFlat (554) - Edina, Minnesota, USA - MAR 16, 2009
Poured golden in color. Light malt and fruit aroma. Taste was quite sweet up front with some malt and citrus. Bitterness became apparent as it warmed.

MrBunn (2006) - Western, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 9, 2009
Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with a small, frothy head and aromas of apple juice, punky vegetation and sugary sweetness. Flavor is kind of a mess of sweetness and fruit with a bit of odd vegetation and metal. Still, it is better than the nose would have indicated... still, it could be much bett

12 oz bottle. Pours a light golden color with a nice big frothy white head that has great retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is sweet malt with a nice floral presence. Flavor is sweet maltiness with a touch of hop bitterness at the end. Very smooth and easy going down. It’s a touch fruity at times. Nice creamy mouthfeel that leaves a nice sweet flavor on the back of your tongue. Very tasty! This has become one of my favorites from Schell over that last couple of years.
