Have I raved and ranted enough about how big a fan I am of the Enegren Brewery of Moorpark, California? If not, I will rave some more. I can’t get Enegren beers here in Georgia, but I can buy them through Craftshack, and so far, I’ve bought 16 of their beers that way, both new to me brews and repeats. They are that good. Tonight, I am here to talk about my 16^th check in from Enegren, Enegren Maibock Spring Lager, and it is certainly one of the best Enegren beers I’ve enjoyed yet.

Enegren says about this spring seasonal:

Enegren Maibock is a traditional German-style helles bock brewed to celebrate the coming of spring. This strong spring lager has a lightly toasted and moderately sweet malt profile balanced with spicy and floral German noble hops. Willkommen Im Frühling!

Ingredients from the website:

MALT: German Pilsner

Vienna

CaraMunich III

Carafoam

HOPS: Herkules

Hallertauer

Enegren Maibock Spring Lager has an alcohol content of 7% by volume with 35 IBUs. I paid $4.49 for my 16-ounce can from Craftshack; I have no pricing information for true retail.

Enegren Maibock Spring Lager pours to a beautiful, brilliant copper color with a thick fluffy white head and a wonderful nose of fresh crisp and nutty malt. Taking a sip this beer is a pure malt delight with hints of caramel, dry roasted nuts, a hint of cooked corn, toasted malts, and a gently sweet finish with a hint of grassy hops.

Absolutely amazing, better than some examples I’ve tried from Germany, and very possibly the best American Maibock I have ever sipped. I just did not want my glass to end. There are not many beers I would call "flawless", but this is one of them. I’m quite sure it's the best American brewed Maibock to ever pass these lips, and trust me, I've drunk a lot of Maibocks. Bocks are, after all, my very favorite styles.

And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
