review: Bayern Brewing Maibock


Today's beer adventure: Bayern Brewing Maibock (Montana, USA). 355ml bottle. 6.5% ABV. Served in pint glass. Purchased at during our last trip to Plentywood for "supplies". About $12.00 for 6 once you get them across the border.

The pour is a golden honey amber. Slightly hazy. Small amount of quickly dissipating head. Good lacing though. Medium carbonation. Nose is of ripe apples, pears, banana, apricots, bread, toffee(?).

The flavour is sweet malty goodness. Apricot, pears, apples round out the fruit flavours, then caramel and toffee bring up the middle. Bit of citrus hops on the end and more malt. Finish is long, malty with a slight bitterness right at the end.. The alcohol is non-existent.

Rating is 7.5/10 dogs. Ahh..Bayern. You'll make a lager fan of me yet. Damn I like everything from this place. This would definitely have a regular place in my collection if it was more readily available in Canuckistan. Me likey.
