From the brewer

The Governor is a strong golden lager brewed in the Maibock style. With a generous malt bill providing body and depth, and Oregon-grown Sterling hops giving a subtle floral hop character, The Governor finishes both bold and balanced.

Who's been drinking this

Not a ton of flavor but still an interesting take on a maibock.
Bottle
Sudsy hop smell. Good mellow cereal flavor with a tight finishing bitterness. A bit of tack.
I liked that this bock sat in the drier, bitter tradition of a pilsner rather than being sweet or overtly bready. Wow does the alcohol sneak up on you, though.
