Emerging from springtime’s fertile ground, our Cultivator celebrates the start of hop-growing season as sprawling fields of hop rhizomes climb and tether to hop bines. This spring bock delivers hints of toasted grains, fresh baked bread and delicate floral hops. #1 of 4 in our Hop Cycle seasonal series.

Orange and cantaloupe nose. Clear amber, thin head. Cantaloupe and orange peel. Medium body. Interesting hop bill for a heller bock, but I like it.

On tap at Red Robin, Hershey.
This was poured into a pilsener glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden burnt orange color with no head nor lacing. I figured it was a bar pour so I’m not too worried.
The smell had a big malty sweet corn, bready / biscuity goodness to it.
The taste was mainly sweet and bready. Light bready to slight corn aftertaste that ran into a light sweet wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was fairly smooth and good.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Maibock / Heller, if anything, definitely one to put with food.

Some nearby bodega: Pours light orange with a white head. Aroma is light fruitiness, bazooka joe, and some breadies. Taste has a very mild hoppy tinge. Sweetness is pretty low. Well balanced. Tasty and easy to drank.
