Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock

This is another beer I picked up from our local Wine and Ale specialty store. I really like this store, so I hope they stay in business! This heller bock was brewed by Einbecker in Germany. It poured a medium amber color, with a 3/4 inch white head, that left some lacing on the glass. The beer is pretty sweet, with caramel notes. It has enough hops to balance the sweetness, and has some alcohol in the finish. It is at 6.5 % alcohol. This is a fine example of a heller bock or Maibock.

"You've Been Warned"

Today's beer review is from the Pennsylvania Brewing Co. It's their "Penndemonium", which I purchased in a 22 oz bottle. This beer is in the style of a Heller Bock, a light colored version of a bock beer. It is surprisingly strong at 8%, hence the reason for the warning on the bottle. It is also much more malty than I would have expected from a beer of this color. I like this beer! It has a mild hop character, just enough to balance the malt. My only complaint is the 22 oz bottle, because I feel like I can only drink it on Saturdays. I'll be watching for other offerings from Pennsylvania Brewing. I'm impressed with this one. I hope their other brews are as good.
