Episode # 364: Marybock

Life On Tap

Dan was going back and forth between Lager Month and Maibocks in May, with the next palate trip from Fifth Hammer’s Marybock.

Fifth Hammer Brewing Company Marybock

STYLE: Maibock
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: N/A
AVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Seasonal)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.

Appearance

Medium to burnt orange/amber in color with a thick, beautiful, fluffy head.

Aroma

Floral and herbal notes from the hops mix with a baked bread/biscuit element from the malt bill.

Taste

The notes from the aroma continue with a pleasant minerality towards the end and on the finish after some crusty bread notes.

Mouthfeel

This one has a mouthcoating effect, with a good degree of weight on the palate with medium mouthfeel and a moderately dry finish with the carbonation coming in clutch.

Overall

I love that more and more Maibocks are hitting the market…more for me if you don’t want them! German food fare is always good for the style, but I was feeling a Korean fried chicken with Gochujang while sampling.

Cheers and remember:

Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.

All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
