Now that's more like it: Hofbrau

Trying to get that Oktoberfest out of my mouth, I crack on a bone-chilling cold Hofbrau Maibock. DAMN I LOVE MAIBOCK. Right now, my four favorite things are in this order: my lovely daughter, maibock, the movie Snatch, and James David Manning youtube videos. Maybe it's just that nobody fricken makes Maibocks these days, it's all Traditional bocks, or dunkel lagers or vienna lagers masqeurading as bocks, any of course the same 4 doppelbocks.

Hofbrau Maibock
This one has a crisp syrup sweetness, some funk from th hops, and a little stank on it from the green bottle. And I'm loving it. Great syrup/caramel malt, crisp finish, with some bread. I like the way it just cuts right through your palette. 4 stars.

It's Mai, so how about a Maibock

Beer Log: Right now
State: Chillin, watching some old UFC

Can't believe Rampage lost that title to Forrest Griffin

Summit Maibock
Nose is sweet and a touch veggie, kinda Premium lager like. Tinged straw color with a strong white head. Tastes like Purity Law beer. Good sweetness, a touch of funky hops. Actually kinda reminds me of those german lagers you get at the corner store.

Let's see, I stepped away to change the baby's diaper and now the beer has a chewy malty element to it. I get a touch of metal in the finish, but the beer is rather enjoyable. I'm also get a bit of some citrus hops as well. 3 Star
