Reviewed on 5/20/09. On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear brown/amber with a small tan head. Aroma of sweet malt (very malt dominated) and light hops. Flavor was more in the same vain...lots of malt and a sweet finish. Still, quite drinkable and nice to gulp down.

Creamy white head that left some thin and spotted lacing on the glass. Crisp, yet thin dark golden/light copper in color. The aroma is a blend of floral hops, light fruit (apple, orange, maybe some lemon), and earth-toned mustiness. Floral hops and an earthy grain/wheat flavor drive this maibock. The alcohol is very well hidden throughout this maibock. A nice biscuit maltiness provides a nice balance with this version's hop profile. A bit 'plain' tasting for the style, but nothing unpleasant. Medium bodied; grainy and almost mud-like on the palate: what I look for in a maibock. A decent version of the style. Unfortunately, very similar in flavor to most other maibocks out there. There's definitely better stuff to sample when you're visiting Main St. than this one.

Had this one with dinner tonite. The beer came to me chilled in a pint glass. THe brew exhibits a clear gold color with a small white bubbly head that fades quickly to an edge layer. Some mild malty notes on the aroma, a little grainy I think. Not really too much else on the nose here.
First sip reveals an average bodied brew with slightly prickly carbonation. Flavor has a nice crisp hop character with grassy and earthy notes. I also get a bit of lager malt sweetness in the middle. THis is a nice refreshing brew for a warm May day but not very complex. Good for the style I think.

Attractive crystal clear copper gold, with very little head, and no lacing.
Aroma is malty and lager-ish clean, with little in the way of esters or fruitiness. Some mild german hopping, mostly an herbal quality.
Flavor is big bodied and malty, with a clean sweetness and little hopping to speak of. Very subtle and clean, without much complexity. Carbonation is perhaps a little high for my tastes. The malts are a little plain.
I like maibocks, and this one is decent, although I think this is one of the worst beers these folks make.
