Maibocks are a traditional Teutonic seasonal specialty. We brew ours to be hugely malty and subtly finished with a variety of continental hops, with an eye-pleasing russet brown color.

2004 bomber. Pours a lightly golden, soft yellow with amber and orange hints. Bottle conditioned, with tons of white head. Aroma of lightly spicy yeast, ripe yellow fruits and plenty of grainy malt goodness (honey wheat bread with herbs and spices). Flavor has just the perfect balance of malt sweetness and mixes with a mild and soily/earthy hops profile that is just right. The yeast and hops together add a perfect balancing bitterness, this beer has a soft smooth body and is just supremely drinkable and good. These guys are great with balance (and that’s great with me). Maybe a bit too much sugary sweetness, to be constructive and it could stand a bit more yeast influence.

This generates an intensely creamy, dense head over a clear, copper colored body.Very pretty beer. The aroma is malt, yet lacks intensity. The flavor is overly hoppy and out of balance for a Bock as well. Needs more maltiness all around. Not to the same caliber as their Robust Porter. I like a good Bock and this just isn’t it.
