Commercial Description:
A rich, deep golden-blonde lager, Stoudt's version of the German classic style includes a generous amount of honey for added flavor notes. The full-bodied Mai-bock beer is significantly stronger than Stoudt's Gold Lager. Brewed with the finest German 2-row malt and a subtle, yet noticeable touch of noble hops, this year-round beer was traditionally made to cut through the chill of early spring.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy deep gold color with a frothy one finger white head, that disapates quickly. It has a light aroma of sweet toasted malts and breadiness. The taste starts with biscuity sweet malts that turn to crisp floral hops, that finish with a sharp perfumey bitter dry bite.

I wouldn’t say a deep golden blonde but certainly a nice bock with buttery notes, perhaps a slightly elevated alcohol content. On tap at Jean Bonnet Tavern

Draft: Poured a golden yellow with a nice head. The aroma was honey and floral. The flavor was good, sweet malts, citrus and flowers. Overall, a decent brew.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear brilliant gold body with a small fizzy white head that faded very quickly to a wispy film. The nose is thick, sweet, honey-laced pale malt with a touch of alcohol. A little bit of perfumy hops. Nice clean and crisp flavor with just a suggestion of honey sweetness on the finish. Reminds me of fresh crusty bread with a really chewy center. Some light perfumy and floral hoppiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation, nice mouthcoating finish. Overall it’s pretty nice, clean, with just a little alcohol kick.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. To be honest, I was rather dismayed by this one. Stoudts has a great reputation for well-interpreted beers, and I founds this example lacking. Pours a straw-colored yellow, as expected. Nose is bland, just a bit of malt, but no detectable Munich maltiness. One dimensional again on the palate, tasting sweet, but without identifiable character. Finishes clean. Overall, it definitely tasted like a double-American Blonde...but certainly not a Mai-bock.

On tap, Eli Cannon’s. Pours a light orange-gold. Aroma is flowery hops, sweet fruit, and some malt sugar. Palate was smooth, with enough body to support the full flavors of this beer. I tasted ripe fruit, citrus-esque hops, and some biscuit notes. Pretty solid effort by Stoudts.

Remember this one being extremely thin bodied and honey everywhere. Pours a clear yellow, tastes of honey and beer. Really thats all here. Decent, but not a great beer I’d go to often.

Draft. Pours a copper body with a white head. Chewy caramel malt with some fruity esters. Hints of toffee and lagered notes. Rounds out with some dry earth. Decent brew.
