Joe Lunchpail says Mai oh Mai
April 13th, 2008
First of all, I must start off by saying that Maibocks aren’t exactly my favorite types of beer, so I have a difficult time judging them. The Summit Maibock, while in my opinion is better than the Maifest, still leaves something to be desired. It is a bit on the sweet side, and lacks the hops to really make a mark on the palate. I really can’t say much more about it, except that it isn’t really something that I would drink very frequently and would probably only order one if the alternatives are domestic light beers.
