Schell Maifest
March 31st thru April 6th
Brewer's Description
Maifest is a seasonal specialty beer offered in the spring months. It is brewed with a blend of three different specialty malts and the finest imported and domestic hops, in the tradition of Munich's Hofbrauhaus Maibock (My-Bock) beer. Maifest has a very large hop aroma, is smooth to the palate, and a unique malty sweetness than our other varieties. In celebration of the spirit of the Hofbrauhaus and the Maibock style, we proudly offer August Schell's Maifest beer.

…to start enjoying some Maifest. The Loon already has it on tap, so I reckoned I’d give it a try at last Friday’s happy hour. A decent hoppy aroma gives this blondey a better than expected flavor that goes down smooth and bitterness-free. I happened to drink the Maifest right after a Newcastle, so my bias (and residual taste) was difficult to overcome. Another enjoyable, albeit unspectacular offering from the Schell’s folks. Next time I’ll drink it with a clean palate and see what I think of it then. 3 out of 5 ain’t bad, though.
