Commercial Description:
By tradition, the first barrel of Maibock is tapped in the Hofbräuhaus in the last week of April, in time for the merry month of May. The success story of Munich’s oldest bock beer goes back as far as 1614. With its powerfully aromatic flavour and its alcoholic content of some 7.2% volume, Hofbräu Maibock marks one of the high points in the beer-lover’s calendar!

Pours a mostly clear orangish/coppery/amber under a small, yellowhite head. Malted aroma dominates with mild roasted cornhusks and grassy hops. Ketchup joins late. (I observed acidity and raspberries in this beer two years ago...) Smooth and dry with a perfect flavor-balance of malts & hops, finishing on a clean bitter note. A very good Maibock.

Bottle. Pours a clear and amber with a yellow hue. Big lacing, off white and very creamy head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a breadlike feel. High carbonation. Dry mouthfeel. Flavour is not as sweet as the aroma. No traces of the alcohol, but with a warming feel. I kind of like it!

Pour is a clean looking brown with a fluffy white head. Aroma is drffinatly bready malts and lots of it. Flavor is a bit weak and watery. Some caramel malts and i agreee with a lot of raters here that the alcohol is quite potent in this one. Will have to have others of its kind to compare it to but this is a average at best beer.

Green bottle. Aroma of caramel malt with slight grape and alcohol. Sweet with some orange. Pale, clear orange body with a orange-tinged rocky beige head. Good deal of malt in the taste and a somewhat high level booziness. Slightly sour and salty, a little funky. Medium bitterness on an oily medium body. Some sticky caramel. Warming dry, sticky aftertaste. Much more complex than most members of the style, but the booziness is a big turnoff.

A malty, caramely beer. I am not sure I remember this beer so much as I remember what I would rate it. It was a rough night.

Draft. Some aroma of sweet malt and a little bubblegum. Flavor is pretty much the same with a dry finish. Good amount of flavor for a lager.
