However, the brewers seem to have stuck to the classic English Kent Goldings hops, at least as far as my palate could detect. Summerfest -This beer becomes available in late May, and is bright golden in color with a fluffy white head. Crisp nose with a little spiciness showing through from the hops. Reminds me in many ways of the fine Mexican lager Bohemia. Pale Bock -Clear and golden with hints of red.
Nose is dominated by wheat and grain aromas.
Earthy and herbal start to the taste which quickly dries out into a lingering bitterness. As the beer warms, hints of banana creep in. Labeled on the neck as a Maibock, this concoction is different from any Maibock I've ever had in that it's pretty bitter, and not quite as richly alcoholic as other examples. Lager yeast is appropriately employed. Much more subtle and smooth than their other offerings, though I am a big fan of the SN family of beers.
