12 oz bottle poured into tulip
A: yellow body crowned by a 1 inch head of white foam that slowly dissipates to a thin film
S: Very nice! Grassy, spicy and lemony. Seems like noble hops but it also has a slight belgian yeast aroma that I really like
T: Very clean lager taste. Hops are there but not overpowering. A little spicy with some lemon and I'm getting a touch of honey
M: Very light and crisp with a dry finish
D: This is a very drinkable beer. At 6.4% I'd love to session a few of these.
I read alot of the reviews and I didn't expect much but I ended up really liking this beer. It is a nice 'clean' lager but for some reason I was getting some belgian aromas that rounded it out nicely. If this is a 'true' Maibock then I need to search out some more because I enjoyed this one! Another gem from SN!

This is a real pretty beer, both when being made and the final product. Dark yellow, big 1" head white. The aroma is pretty neutral.
Taste still leans hoppy for style true to form for Sierra Nevada, this one drops plenty of wheat and barley, lemon like feels. Lots of pleasantries for someone who doesn't like the over bittering hopping, this one has it above average for style, but stays in check otherwise. Definite breadiness. Hearty carbonation. Has a dry and almost chalk like finish after a full mouthfeel gamut of bread feels.

From notes. L: Pours brilliant orangish gold with a 1” gold tinted white persistent foam collar. S: Bready, biscuit malt aromas T: Light bread flavors with a spicy hop accent. F: Medium body and carbonation. O: A big, bready bock that is well balanced and easy to drink.
