Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Heller Bock
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

Nice golden color, fluffy white head. Very malty, wet dog aroma. Sweet with a very, very heavy caramel flavor. Winking Lizard Tour 2007

Pours a beautifull clear copper with a one finger head that lasts and leaves good lacing. Aroma of fresh malt and a touch of caramel malt. Taste is the same. Good bitterness but not over powering. A good beer.

Bottle: Clear copper color with an off white head. Aroma, yeasty, grassy notes, some caramel malts, roasted notes. Flavor, rich caramel, almost smoky, toffee notes. Solid brew.

From a stubby 11.2 oz. embossed green bottle with a freshness date on the back label. Poured a clear copper hued amber with a large fluffy, rocky head, good retention, settled into a thin creamy lacing, fair amount of sticking. Aromas of sweet caramel and grains, a light yeastiness and whiffs of floral, spicy alcohol. Good steady carbonation and a malty crisp, dryish, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Good malty taste with a nice German hoppiness at the end, sweet caramelized malty with a light butter toffee, herbal, spicy hops kick in at the end with a good lingering soft bitterness, the alcohol makes a brief appearance at the end and a dryish sweet malty, soft hoppy finish. This was much better than I was expecting, a good Maibock/Helles bock at an affordable price.

Not bad. Poured a dark/orange yellow. Tasted like a kicked up lager. Some hops present which were quickly masked by the carbonation. I enjoyed this beer a lot, a perfect abv% for this style.
