The Malbourne Maibock is a lager in the traditional spring or "May" bock style. The spring bock is light in color like a Helles lager, but a little higher in alcohol and emphasizes the pale malt flavors. The golden hue is clear with a distinctive Hallertauer hop nose of spice and light floral aromas. The malty body and moderate bitterness make for a thirst quenching, warm weather lager, full of character but not heavy in the mouth. Cereal grains, pale toast and a touch of malt sugar leaves one thirsting for more as outdoor temperatures rise. The Malbourne hotel was built in 1912 on the corner of Main and Roxboro streets. It was a stunning, modern hotel with 125 rooms, hot and cold water and 50 private bathrooms. The building was constructed on a granite base with brick, copper cornices and iron balconies. The original name was the Taurus Hotel, but the local matrons didn't approve and the name was changed to Malbourne after Malbourne Angier of the Duke family. The hotel was demolished in 1966 and the current Durham City Courthouse is on that location.

Hops Used: 100% Hallertauer
