The bronze, honey-like color of this take on a traditional German Maibock belies the sublime richness of the malt, simultaneously sweet and spicy, with luscious German Noble hops for balance. Released, as is customary, to celebrate the
return of spring, this enticing brew will help you shake o the cold of winter and embrace the season to come.

2004 bomber. Ahh itβs been a while since my last drain pour. I kept trying this one and trying it, let it warm up but nothing seemed to work. Pours a copper gold color, mostly clear with a decent light beige head. Aroma is sharp and thick, tons of incredible lager yeast, rusty, soily and lightly sour. Flavor just didnt do it for me. It was like drinking spoiled milk mixed with spoiled apple juice (maybe not quite that bad). The lager yeast was all I tasted. There was some malt sweetness, but it didnt stand a chance against the huge yeast. Hops?? I couldnt find them. Maybe this had gone bad in shipment, but it didnt go bad in the refrigerator it was in. 7/3/2/2/5
Draught at Redbones on 3/23/06. Fortunatley this wasnt infected. Heavy munich malt and bock-like yeastiness chokes the palate at first, quite sour, grainy, with plenty of hard cereal-like malting. Lots of spoiled peaches. Really pushes the boundaries of what the palate (mine, anyways) can take. But the quality is there, and the unpast./unfilt. nature of the beer adds a fresh yeastiness and chewy texture that help keep it afloat. Light honey is drowned out by heavy munich malts moreso as it warms. Fruity, light in hops, just a sweaty, hay-like flavor. 7/3/6/3/11
