Signal from Noise
Ocelot Brewing Company

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in February 2023. The canned date on the bottom of the can was 5/4/22. I drank this about 4 months after purchase.

Appearance: Dark gold color with 3-finger white head. It has a clear complexion. The head is very thick, and it lasts a few minutes, leaving a small covering. There is very little lacing on the glass.

Smell: Moderate aroma of pineapple and pine, as well as some hops and grapefruit. The aroma was moderately strong as soon as the can was opened. The fruit aromas are more prominent than the other aromas.

Taste: Nice balanced taste between the fruit (grapefruit and pineapple) and hops that is not overpowering. Also, some orange flavors and malty lager flavors. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium body. Also, moderate average alcohol, which matches the 7.2% listed on the can. Interesting that the ABV listed here for this beer is 7.2%.

This is a very good Maibock. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. The overall balance is excellent. A very good beer from Ocelot. A dependable beer for drinking anytime of the year. I will definitely buy this again.
