Pale malt flavors are balanced with a rich hop character and a light fruit bouquet in this seasonal spring lager. Traditional dry-hopping and extended aging give this strong blonde bock a distinctive flowery aroma and a potent kick.

[2] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/7/2008 8:23:09 AM)
"Pours a clear amber-orange with a medium creamy head leaving some lacing. Good carbonation. Aromas of sweet slightly bicuity malts with a hint of spring flowers and a very slight spicy hops. taste is very clean with a great malty backbone with a slight sweet honeysuckle flowerness and a smooth balanced very slight hops finish."

[3] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/31/2008 9:28:39 PM)
"Able to come across this Maibock just before the month it honors has ended. I am a huge fan of this style and Sprecher has brewed up a great one. Clear, dense copper color with an orange tint. Large, filmy white head with slow carbonation and spotty lacing. Intriguing aroma of sweet, delicate malts, juicy citrus, and fresh flowers. Awesome scent, really sums up what the Spring season is all about. Light yet hearty body, real clean and refreshing. Nice drink after a long warm day. The flavor follows suit with the aroma. Plenty of caramel and nutty malts, real smooth with a nice depth. Citrus zest and floral hop flavors. Balanced and somewhat dry. This is excellent, goodbye May. "

[4] Review by Hannah from OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/3/2008 8:48:31 PM)
"Pours perfectly clear copper with small, fading head. The aroma is clean and malty. Flavor is well balanced; crisp with a nice, clean finish. Smooth, medium body with gentle carbonation. Great sample."

[5] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/3/2008 8:25:50 PM)
"Sampled from bottle poured into a Sprecher pint glass, beer and glass thanks to pfoxyjohn. This bock pours brilliant light copper with a thin, but lasting white head. Floral aroma - but otherwise clean. Pretty balanced - which I love for the style. Syrupy-sweet bocks are just gross. Quite bready with some floral, spicy hops in the flavor. Medium-full body and easy to drink. It's obvious this has spent some time in the lagering tanks. An exceptional bock. "
