Tap at the brewpub - comes out of the tap a clear golden with a slight orange tint to it - very full aroma of bright fruity qualities, some grassy hops and herbal notes, all underpinned with a honey sweetness - initial flavors are of butterscotch and slight diacytil (a little off-putting) - smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel - spicy hops, wildfower honey, and berry-like fruity esters come into play, making the beer interesting, almost making up for the unwelcome butterscotch flavors - still quite good, but a little too heavy, and not as clean as I like my maibocks to be.

Tap @ brewpub, enjoyed with hophead75. Poured into tall mug, orange-amber colored, a completely lucid beer. Aroma is lagered fruitiness, which works well in the overall lightness of this beer. Floral/herbal german hops and a cereal like maltiness. Taste is cereal/grain/even lightly roasty, all is full flavored while the beer is relatively light and thirst quenching. Light bitterness at the end. Definitely returnable and recommended.

April, 2004. Hazy golden beer with a light banana aroma with nice wheat and cloves and bananas in tatse with a pleasant rich body.
