I found this single 12oz brown bottle at the Binny's in Plainfield, IL for $2.19. At first I thought the St. Boisterous character was a santa figure and this was some Christmas Ale, but it is not. It's a spring seasonal Maibock that is released every April. My bottle says best enjoyed by April 1O, 2O11, so I assume this is from the April 2O1O batch.

The beer poured a medium orange/copper color with just a thin white rim for a head. Even that didn't last long and there was virtually no lacing. Not the prettiest beer I've ever poured.

The smell was full of caramely malt, some fruitiness, and a touch of floral hops.

The taste began with some initial sweet caramel and honey flavor, followed by some bitter herbal hoppiness. The finish was bitter with a slight alcoholic warmth, but overall the 7.2% alcohol is well hidden.

Medium body with super high carbonation.

This is a decent maibock. Not my favorite product from Victory, but very drinkable.

I had this on tap at Victory Brewpub in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. This had a nice bready malt foundation that got a little better as it warmed, but still a bit too boozy for me.
