Upland Maibock

Brewed by Upland Brewing Company
Style: Heller Bock
Bloomington, Indiana USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

Deep orange-amber beer with a cream tan head. Aroma is nice and sweet but there is an unappealing dustiness as well. Fairly prominent apple/diactyl butter aroma as well. Flavour is sweet but full of this distracting dustiness. It’s kind of a mess.

On tap at the brewery. Light, almost see through amber tan with slight head retention. Aroma really doesn’t consist of much beyond a bit of sweet malt. The flavor is generally good, with sublte hints of malty goodness blended with a nice crisp lagered hop bite at the end. Nice for the summer. Nothing to scream about.

Amber color and hints of spice. Very sweet and enjoyable. Would drink again if I could find it.

Graduation weekend on tap at Scotty’s in Bloomington. Upland Maibock is an orange/copper color with a nicely built off-white head. The aroma is fantastic with sweet malts, caramel and fruit. The taste is full of fruit and is very enjoyable. This is one of Upland’s best.

Pours Amber with a light, malt flavor. Very on par with most bocks I’ve had. Rather strong-ish bitter aftertaste, but nothing all that bad.

12 oz bottle from acknud! Big thanks! Nose of golden raisins, caramel, apple butter, coppery red with a yellowy thick foam; flavor of apple butter and light spice, nice and thick; Excellent and creamy!

Bottle from Acknud. Thanks, Doc!
Pours a deep, sappy amber with an offwhite head and nice lacing. Aroma is raisin toast, and the flavor follows in a similar vein, featuring sweet raisin bread but with the added bonus of apple jelly. Nice and coating mouthfeel. Fine brew; nice sippin’ beer.

Thanks to Mike for this one. Dark amber color, no head. Sweet aroma. Flavor is thin and watery, slightly bitter and caramel sweet.
