CJ Camp says line ‘em up
April 18th, 2008
Put a Schell Maifest and a Summit Maibock side by side last night, in an effort to get caught up around here.
They looked about the same, pretty blonde color, decent head on both. Nice mouthfeel, excellent flavor (I like the maibocks). No disappointments with either one. The Maifest was a little sweeter than the Maibock.
Both these beers appropriately provide a great transition from my winter beer preference (dark, heavy and sweet) to my summer beer preference (lighter, hoppier). I’m pretty happy that we have more around the house.
