look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Poured into a pint glass.

Pours a nice off white head that laces slightly. The color was light golden.

Smells like a typical bock, nothing to appealing to me. Bready and carmel aromas. Taste is kind of malty, kind of skunky. Not something I enjoyed.

Mouthfeel was a little crisp. leaves a dry flavor in your mouth.

Overall, this is one of the only summits I haven't liked. I don't prefer bocks to much, but I really didn't like this at all.

On tap into a pint glass @ MSP. Pours a clear golden color w/ a thin white head.

Aroma is gently floral and grainy.

Taste follows nose. Old-world hops, pilsner malt (or something similar), clean water. Highly drinkable.

Mouthfeel is clean and crisp, refreshing.

Overall an easy drinking summer beer. Nothing amazing, but good enough for a layover on my way home.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.25

Poured from bottle to an imperial pint.

A: Hazy wheat to lemon yellow with a foamy stark white head. A decent amount of carbonation. A good looking maibock.

S: Malt, candy sugar, grassy hops.

T: Strong malt presence with a nice hops finish, but sickly sweet in the middle. Lemon peel, grassy hops, and some other notes that would be pleasant were it not for a cloying sweetness.

M: Rather chunky and thick. Decent hops finish but there is almost a residue left on your tongue so you don't really get to enjoy it.

O: Good-looking maibock that doesn't quite deliver in other categories. I greatly prefer Boss Tom's from Boulevard here in KC.

Very pleasing start to spring. The weather forecasts here in Iowa are promising highs near 50. I watched my kids color Easter eggs while I sipped this Maibock.

The only reason I mark this down a little is that the bitterness surprised me. I didn't expect so much hops in this style. Nevertheless, I will probably drink this again.

Had on tap at Señor Wongs in St Paul.

Appearance: golden clear with decent head retention and nice lacing

Smell: light and a little sweatiness comes through in the back of the nose

Taste: not overly sweet as is expected in a Mai Bock, dry Finnish with an almost cidery after taste

Overall: very nice Mai Bock, and though I am not a Mai Bock fan I could drink this again and again

Serving type: on-tap

Pours a big, rich, white head that has good persistence and surprising lacing. Sweet malt and floral hops in the nose. Slightly hazed, straw color. Starts off with a touch of grainy hop bitterness, sweet malt, and that distinctive boozey blend of malt and hop. About the middle, the hops start to disappear as the malt takes center stage. As the finish comes and lingers, the hops are still there in their grainy/floral blend, with the malt peeking out.

Not bad at all. A touch hoppier than I like in the style, but very well done, and still quite fantastic.
