thornecb (1031), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Apr 7, 2008 Pours bright gold into a shaker. Bright white head quickly recedes to skim surface leaving no lacing. Sweet malt aromas. Crisp caramel upfront with a lasting hop and alcohol finish.
Ron (737), Rochester, New York, USA Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brew Fest. Amber pour with a huge white head, big malt aroma. Malty flavor with a proper amount of hops to balance it out, almost dry finish. A little thin on the mouth feel, but other wise great.
ucusty (914), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 8, 2008 Light amber pour with fluffy off-white head. Leave a decent lace behind. Toasty/nutty aroma. Caramel malts, grain, and some fruit dkachur (716), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Aug 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Once Upon a Vine McArthur in Richmond. Slightly hazy reddish brown pour with a small head. Sweet grainy and slightly nutty aroma. Taste is grain, caramel and spice. I got some paper notes initially, but those faded. Thick texture. alexsdad06 (616), Ohio, USA Aug 4, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear light amber color with a small creamy white head. The aroma is moderately sweet malt with hints of fruits but not much else. The flavor has some off flavors that I think are associated with hops. The malt component is lacking here. Some fruitiness and mild sweetness. I don’t think this is a good example of a maibock. I’ll pass the next time. mmm///beer (521), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 4, 2008 (From 8-3-08 sampling- thanks to whoever brought it!) Hazy orange in appearance, medium carbonation, aroma of oranges, bread, and musk. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt seemed to be very slightly toasted, some mild sweetness in the middle, finish that lingers with a slight hop note. Good stuff maynard!
