The fifth Origin Story release is a 7.5% German-style strong lager that pours brilliant golden with a thick white head with aromas of floral hops, herbs and sweet doughy malt. Maibock has malty backbone with herbal hop bitterness, lemon peel, crackers, berries and a lingering sweetness. Packs a punch, but goes down easy.
The fifth release in our this twelve-beer series will contribute one-twelfth to a bigger picture.
The pictures speak to, and poke fun at, meaning-making - the stories and myths we tell each other and ourselves in order to make sense of life, relationships and our place in the universe.
Like life, these beer labels are a puzzle that maybe - just maybe - can be solved if we just get together (over a beer or two?) and communicate.
Follow along with the series for a new lager release at the beginning of every month, adding another piece to the puzzle!
