Somewhat viscous golden body with moderate carbonation and a robust, dense white head. Yeasty sourdough aroma with light citric, melon, and peanut qualities, plus clean perfumy highlights. Smooth and pleasant malty flavor with good relative depth. Includes some nice spice and floral characters as well. Medium sweet with nice balancing, natural bitterness. Overall this has an interesting blend of heat, yeasty phenols, and hop flavor and bittering compounds and is nicely rounded and fairly complex. Doesn’t stray into malt liquor territory like some maibocks do. This is the best maibock I’ve had so far.

Nov 19, 2008 Bomber...received from a trade with Oteyj.....orange amber with a beige head......smells like a nut bread...yeast and bread notes followed by pecans and almonds along with some sweet malts...medium sweet body, with a sour bitter mixed finish....aroma is not as prevalent in the flavor...its more sweet malt and spices (cinnamon and nutmeg)...pretty good...mild bitter and dry finish---orange rind taste tinged throughout

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle 650 ml.
Appearance: clear amber lager with large, frisky, creamy-white top.3+
Aroma: sweet, fruity, berry like with slight peppery hop side.
Flavour/Palate: full bodied, slightly oily in texture. You will be welcomed by alcohol warmth right from first sip. Thick, malty body supports well its formula. Malt it self is candy sweet but with out crossing cloying point. Good bock.

Sep 29, 2008 Draught sample at the Portsmouth restaurant. Not really my area of expertise or even experience. Aroma and flavour seemed buttery and I swear I tasted watermelon in the finish. Not my typical style so not much to say other than it was easy drinking.
