  • Aroma: Medium-high malt aromas with hints of pilsner sweetness and a noticeable toasty character. Very low hop aroma of faint herbals and earthy spice. Very low fermentation derived whifs of faint fruity esters and a tiny hint of sulfur.
  • Appearance: Deep golden to nearly light amber color with good clarity after lagering. Firm and lasting tight white foam cap.
  • Flavor: Malt flavors dominate with a slightly sweet, grainy flavor and subtle layers of toasty Munich malt. Very low to no spicy hop flavor with moderate bitterness. Fairly dry in the finish.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth sipping with a lingering creaminess on the palate. Low alcohol warmth.
  • ABV: 6.6%


Just as the maypole is used to celebrate the coming of the warm season, this recipe also honors the ending of winter and the short, dark days. Maypole Maibock is brewed in the tradition of the famously malty and flavorful beers historically brewed in winter and then consumed in May coinciding with the return of spring and summer. Packed with delicious fresh, clean pilsner malt flavor and layered with a smattering of Munich malt, this lager is then just bittered enough to balance the malt sweetness and fermented with a clean, crisp and relatively attenuative classic German lager strain. The result is a deep golden beer with a dense and lasting white foam head, and a complex flavor profile with moderately high alcohol content.
