What Our Editors Thought
“Notes of black pepper, spice, and a touch of bitter caramel. A gentle alcohol warmth and slightly sharp edges lend a bold character with lingering depth.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Sweet bready aroma with spring wildflowers, a touch of honey, biscuit, pie crust, apricot. Hints of floral hops and alcohol. Initial sweetness in the sip gets subsumed by a voluminous earthy-chocolate bitterness that lingers with a piquant cacao intensity.”
What the Brewers Say
“German-style maibock. Pilsner and Vienna malt. Tettnanger and Saphir hops. Rich malt character balanced by a snappy bitterness.”
