Maibock
Fonta Flora Brewery

I had much higher hopes for this beer. It is rough around the edges and not very smooth. Some much darker notes than I would have expected. Perhaps just not my style.

 

 

 

 

Deep golden color with a big, bright white head. The aroma shows grain, malt, and light fruity notes. The flavor is moderately sweet and malt‑forward, supported by a medium body and a pleasant floral bitterness on the finish. Simple, balanced, and genuinely good.

No date on can, into a Troegs pint glass.

Pours a dark gold with faint white foam. Aroma is rich, roasted grain and cereal with a little apple. Flavor is intense grain, a little floral and skunky hops, and some more apple. It unfortunately reminds me of a bigger, more flavorful Miller High Life, with a little more bite and sweetness. It's not a bad flavor, I was just hoping for something more refined. Feel is good, much more dense than a typical German style lager, but still crisp, and there's a heavy stickiness reminding me this is a bigger beer without any booziness.

Overall, a semi-letdown, but still interesting. Great mouthfeel and body, but at the cost of the rest of the beer.

 

Aroma is cereal grains/malts and a hint of fruit sweetness. The flavor is mild fruit, German lager yeast, big malts/grains and a spicy noble hop finish.

Single 16oz can from Party Town

 

L-Clean golden color...pours with a little head but it fades quickly

S-Sweet malt...honey bread

T-Bready and doughy maltiness....hops are restrained but seem to keep the sweeter malt in check...

M-Medium bodied....not undercarbonated but not brimming with carbonation....

O-This is a excellent maibock and one right up my alley with the sweeter malt and minimal hop impression.

 

 

16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden pour, white foamy head settles quickly. Malty aroma, sweet. Taste continues with simple sweet malts with a light bitterness, bready notes. Light lingering bitter bite Smooth and creamy.

A Tavour Treat. Pours a gold color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma of floral and pine. Taste is tangy. Crisp and dry. A good springtime brew.
