3.43/5  rDev -9.7%
look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Appearance: Dispensed from the tap a clear, light copper body with a modestly-sized, white head.

Smell: The aroma is a bit simplistic, smelling essentially of lightly toasted grains and little else.

Taste: Sweet, sugary opening of pale and pils malts with light nuances of toasted grains and caramel. Initial fruity hint of golden raisin is superseded by a taste of orchard apple. Modest European hop character and bitterness. Finishes dry and fairly clean.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.

Drinkability: Fares well enough for the 0.5 liter dose. It's an average, acceptable maibock that errs on the side of ease of drinkability.

Serving type: on-tap

Filled a gallon growler at a local beverage spot.

This beer is copper/brown... almost looks like a brown ale(it's a bit darker than Maibock's I've had before). Pours a nice burly head of 1". Smells like fruit esters, toffee.

Taste the dark malt up front and it's sweet. A bit nutty in the middle with a alcohol bite...there's some honey notes and florals goin on.

finishes with a bit of banana-ish sweet.

the mouthfeel is good and the taste is great... I have a feeling this is around 6.5% but it doesn't taste like it.... a bit bitter in the finish and spicy alcohol too - but not too much..

IMO- this is the best beer I've ever had from Big River.... the Vienna was my fave before but I wouldn't call it great... now this one is closer to perfection.

a really good maibock.

the've put their own little twist while remaining true to style.
