tbookman (618), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 25, 2007 Medium hazy orange color - thin head. Aroma is lightly sweet with a hint of spice. FLavor is also sweet, but with a pleasant citrusy hop twang. Nice malty backbone throught and clean finish.
MaltDawg (369), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 16, 2008 1/2L bottle from the brewery. Clear dark golden amber with rocky white head that persists. Aroma of caramel malts, some fruityness, and nobel hops. Malt accentuated flavor with some spicey hops to back up. Medium mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation. Finish is malt sweeetness with moderate hop bitterness. Very Nice. maniac (2022), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jun 14, 2008 Clear golden body (SRM of 9 according to my BJCP Color Guide) with a large frothy off-white head. Sweet fruity aroma with some caramel. Sweet toasty flavor with light caramel background, some graininess, and a bit of spicy hops and a mild bitter finish. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. 00cobraR (969), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Jun 8, 2008 quite suprised with this one. Pours out a clear brown color with a smaller tan head. aroma was malty with a nice touch of sweetness to it. flavor was full of malt and caramel with a slightly fruity finish. this brew over all was very nice. The_Beer_God (2856), Newport News, Virginia, USA May 31, 2008 Bottle. Copper bodied. Small white head. Nose is fruity and malty and sweet smelling. Some yeast, some caramel and some candy in the nose as well. Taste is malty and sweet with yeast notes, fruit and caramel. The yeast is more pronounced than most maibocks. Body is medium with soft carbonation. The finish exudes more yeast, chewy malts and caramel while reinforcing the fruit flavors and some grains. Not bad but different than I expected. vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA Jan 24, 2008 Pours a hazy copper-orange with a thick frothy white head. Head slowly fades leaving plenty of lacing. The aroma is reserved, fruity with slight malt and yeast smells. The taste is sweet malt with some sourness, hints of pepper. There is some lingering hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Pleasant but not outstanding.
