Tap at 1840. My favorite Maibock I've had this season this far..which admittedly is a really small pool. This one is full bodied, rich, true. Hoppy, zesty. Deep lager tone. Rustic, classic. Good.

12oz can. A pinch thicker than typical, but still leans into that plasticy, bland puree tone. Not my thing. Nope.

Tap at Metro Market. Awesome beer. Bold rye, chewy but clean. Solid hop balance. All around excellent beer. Bright, clean, fresh, bold.

Aromas are skunk weed, malt and hints of resin and citrus. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, bittersweet but with some odd quality I can't identify. Good body and carbonation.

Aromas are on the mild side, citrus, resin, cat pee and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, leans sweet, but enough carbonation and bitter to work. Body is a touch thin, but finish is satisfying. Overall good beer.
