Springs back! This maibim ended up being one of the best beers I've had in a while, and it was totally unexpected. I'll definitely be going back to Rustic Road in the near future!

My first sampling of a beer from this new(ish) local(ish) brew-pub, and a favorite style. Full disclosure: the brewers at this pub are old home-brew club friends, so I'm a little biased to start with, but I'm also biased to this style of beer -- anything goes!
Poured from a 12 ounce longneck into my short Becher glass.
L -- Deep amber color with a dense, off-white head that stands strong.
S -- Bready malts and spicy hops, light DMS, some mild fruit characters and mild peppery alcohol.
T -- Big bready malt character up front that blends into a mildly fruity flavor, but immediately gives way to peppery alcohol. The finish is more rich, bready malts, but there's a somewhat astringent character that fights an herbal hop character for dominance.
F -- Mouthfeel is soft to slick with a dry finish and a medium to light-full body.
O -- This is a well-made German-style lager, if not for the odd astringency in the aftertaste. However, that fault is not so big or distracting as to make the beer undrinkable. The sweetish, chewy malts are delicious in a very German style without becoming soda-pop sweet. I think Tom & Bill may have taken some inspiration from Summit for this beer, it's very similar to their Maibock -- and that's a good comparison. On the other hand, nearly 8% ABV makes this beer dangerous -- a true "Mindblock."
