Beaver Island Maibock Helles Bock

Beaver Island Maibock Helles Bock. Dam. Fine. Beer. 6.9 % ABV.
Beaver Island Brewing, St. Cloud, MN.

Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.

In the nose: Slightly sweet, grainy, malty. Clean, lightly floral. Nice.

In the mouth: More sweetness, more malt. Clean, crisp, tasty. Light bodied and refreshing. Classic maibock in every way. I like it. I'll drink it again.

As temperatures rise teasing that summer is near and another winter is behind us, spring is the perfect time of year to celebrate new growth. To commemorate the season we have meticulously crafted our first Maibock (literally May Bock). A careful blend of imported German malts, a rush of German aromatic hops from St. Cloud's sister city, and a long cold aging process result in a beautifully balanced brew. Prost!
