Wow, this was a doppelbock? For f-ks sake had a bit of this and was convinced it was just a bad, weak Saison. Not bad or undrinkable, but for a doppelbock? untenable.

Draft at Brew’d Pub. Clear deep golden color. Very malty, this one, and pleasantly sweet without being cloying.

22 ounce bottle. Bright, brassy gold color. Small white head. Earthy, fruity malt nose. Sweet toasted malt flavor with notes of bubblegum citrus hops. Complex flavor has notes of caramel, tropical fruit, vanilla and alcohol. Overall, a nice tasty Maibock.

Bottled. An amber beer with a light sediment floating under a thin white head. The aroma has notes of fruit and malt, as well as a light oxidation. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of fruit - peaches and oranges, as well as notes of malt, alcohol, and oxitation, leading to a dry fruity finish. The body is light inspite of the 8% ABV. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy deep blond color. The aroma is light, too light malt and cereals. It has a light malt flavor, with some residual sweetness, and smooth mouthfeel; it feels like being old. Quite forgettable.
