This beer is quite possibly the best beer, ever! Any serious beer drinker, regardless of style, will, and should, absolutely love this offering from Foam!

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of lightly caramelized malt with clean cereal notes. Taste is also a mix of lightly caramelized malt notes with some clean cereal notes and some dry hoppy notes and limited residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Solid maibock with a good level of drinkability.

I've had Maibocks that head off into weird flavor directions. This one does not. Nice caramel color, a bit of that boozy taste you associate with early spring brews before it's too hot for anything but a Helles, good malt / caramel notes, tight thick head.

Do you want a Maibock? This is a good Maibock that won't leave you disappointed.

16 ounce can packaged yesterday at 3:07 PM.
(Gotta love when the reps show up with brand spankin' new freshies!)

Moderate pour yields a nearly one inch slightly off-white head
over a bright light amber body with sticky lacing.

Nose of malt with a bit of sweetness almost like honey.
Slight floral aromas are also evident with even slighter hops.

Taste is malty toast with ever so slight honey.
Hops are faintly present, but come forward near at slightly bitter finish.

Overall, a nice stab at a Maibock from the hopheads on the waterfront in Burlington, VT and will revisit when we receive more next week after a bit more age.

Cheers!!
