The old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” seems a little bland when you have the release of a Maibock! The Pete Fest Maibock from Upstream Brewing Company is so timely when it comes to the traditional spring bock.
This German lager has those nice bready, malty notes. This one has just a touch of caramel for me upfront. The body is nice and smooth. The finish is just a bit dry, which makes this one fine beer!
Pete Fest Maibock is a collaboration beer with the local German American Society in Omaha, Nebraska. A sure favorite of those who like the malty side of craft beer! In terms of the ABV, it comes in at 5.8%, which is on the lower end for Maibocks. Very minimal IBUs of 12.
Springtime is a whole lot better with the Pete Fest Maibock!
Cheers!
