Maibock Extract Kit

O.G: 1064 / Ready: 3 months

In Germany, this sub style of the bock family is brewed late in the year and lagered all winter; then in May, the beer is ceremonially tapped and consumed at huge outdoor parties that have big unpronounceable German names. Maibocks are quite strong, and are very pale despite their high original gravities - the palest commercial examples are barely darker than a pilsner. With a traditionally pale color and a delicate hop aroma, the Northern Brewer Maibock is a Fruhjahrstarkbierfest in a box.
