Appearance: Maximus has a bright amber color. Almost like a maple syrup or tree sap. The foam head is at least a good three inches thick and it lingers a round for a good while.
Smell: There are huge hops scent coming from this beer. The hop dominant the profile but other scent make there way through like lot citrus plus a little grassy and vegetable notes.
Taste: Hops is the first and main flavor. There are hints of citrus towards the end.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation Medium to high but not overly so. There’s a tartness that lingers for sure. There is a semi-coating of the mouth with this beer the is every so slightly velvety.
Overall: This brew packs a wallop at 8.2% ABV. So be sure not to pound these. This beer is more of a sip causally while you smoke a cigar. I personally didn’t enjoy it so much. It was just to hoppy for my liking. Though I don’t mind hoppy beers there has to be some complexity to them for me. This is more of a one trick pony. Although I know there are other flavor in this brew the hops just mask them. I’d give this beer a 6 out of 10.
