From the brewer
Tampa is a long way from our home base in Chico, but the guys down yonder in Florida sure can brew a great beer. Our friends at Cigar City find inspiration in the Cuban roots of their hometown, and that Latin-inspired flair is evident in Yonder Bock. This tropical take on the Maibock adds a Latin island flair to this traditional German style beer.

Sweet and bready like you'd expect from an amber bock, but with a lot more fruity overtones and bitterness from the hops. The flavor is surprisingly evocative of pineapple and passionfruit, which is impressive, but I wonder if using actual fruit instead of relying on hop-yeast magic would have helped make for a more adjustable flavor balance. As it is, it seems like they sacrificed something to get the effect they wanted.
