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.

Well that was nice. I just finished a Maifest and am happy it didn’t sneak up and whack me with a drunk-bat like other Maibocks I’ve had. This one was sweet, not hoppy but still interesting to drink. I expected a pretty tame version of this style of beer from Schell’s and was pleasantly surprised at the actual product.
