Some bottles from Erie Brewing Co appeared in my fridge recently, so I opted to try the Golden Fleece Maibock in my quest to let Bocks grow on me – I haven’t seen too many Maibocks from American breweries before. Erie Brewing is located in (surprise!) Erie, PA, and the Maibock is their spring seasonal. It was light amber/gold in color, and had minimal head. The thing that really hit me was the maltiness. I’m a big fan of malt, but this seemed a bit harsh – it had a flavor similar to what you’d get actually chewing on grain. Luckily, that flavor diminished as I tried a bit more. (more…)

I like red ales, but this one is not my style. I really want to like it. The whole Prohibition thing is cute. I am looking for a red ale to carry at the pub but this isn’t it! It has very little head to it & a scattered lacing that disappeared quickly. Dark amber in color, it tricks you into thinking it is going to be good. I think it may be a bit too hoppy for me. (more…)
