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.

April 2nd, 2008
Seriously. I can totally see someone getting wrecked on this in high school or college (see review below) because that’s exactly what it tastes like. Mike’s Hard Lemonade. Boone’s Farm. Peach schnapps. SoCo. Lime vodka. Jello shots. Schell Maifest. It fits in well with the lineup.
If you’re looking for a beer that doesn’t cause you to make your “beer face” with every sip, this might be it. It’s really sweet, and fruity in a gross way, not a good way. So start drinking Schell Maibock today, and who knows, by next fall you might work your way up to that keg of Icehouse in the basement.
