This is the beer which I judge all others by. Each spring I watch the local stores for this to hit the shelves and then buy them out. The only thing I would improve on this beer is a bit more aroma, but thats a very minor thing. I have tried several other maibocks as it is my favorite style, and this beer stands alone.

Whatever your preference, respect this beer as quite representative of its style. Intense, fresh malty aroma. Well-blended fruity malts - and some bitter hops there as well - are blended with the end result approaching a French artisan beer and even something like a Belgian seasonal. Alcohol quite noticeable, especially on the finish; however it may _complement_ this style, because in a heavy-malt beer alcohol can perform the bittering function generally performed by extreme hopping.

Golden in color.Neraly no head at all.Sweet malty aroma with a hint of hops.sweet malt flavor some citrus hints in there along with a slight bitter hop presence.Quite a bit of carbonation and there is a alcohol taste that is present through out the taste,not strong but but light and pleasant with the mix of other flavor's.IMO this is a pretty decent brew and well worth having again just for the high drinkability of it.

This was a very tasty beer. It poured an orange color with a thin white head. Very malty and smooth throughout with a nice finish.

Good malty flavor, pours a nice tannish head, goes down real good until it warms. Gets you screwed up quick
