May 29, 2006 Red orange color - nice head – nose tart red fruit – good hop (bitter) and smoky malt balance with sour red fruit (especially cherries) – rough texture - aftertaste crisp but lingering

May 19, 2006 Updated: May 25, 2006Tasted 19/05/2006. 355ml bottle from RW&S, Wellington.
Vibrant copper (Fritha reckons amber), bright, lightly carbonated, with a disappearing off-white head. Mild nose, but very pleasant, shows off caramel malts, spicy continental hops and a hint of lager yeast. Sweet and sappy malts blend well with with grassy spicy hops and end in a slightly astringent finish (probably the only downfall as it just leans away from perfectly balanced). I’ve seen these Hofbrau beers on the shelf for a couple of months now and the Maibock is a very pleasant surprise (thanks Fritha).
24/05/2006. On tap at the Malthouse, Wellington. Superb biscuity notes from the toasted malt. Upped aroma and overall impression 1 point each.

May 15, 2006 Bottle. Fruity and peppery aroma. Dark copper colour. Semi-stable head. Nice peppery and malty flavours in good balance. The bitterness is a bit rough, but that also helps balance the malt.

May 8, 2006 Smeels pretty good, caramel slightly. The flavor definitely has some caramel. Yummy and actually a little rich given the color. Hops in the finish makes this quite nice.

May 4, 2006 Draft. Clear amber body with a small off-white head. The aroma is fairly simple, sweet caramels, some floral hos. The flavor is very malty, caramel and toffee, some bitterness at the end. Medium body, slightly chewy. Very enjoyable.

Apr 27, 2006 Fantastic spicy aroma, sticky frothy head and perfect clear body. Strongly malty and flavorful, with the hops in there mingling. Some flavors here I can’t quite put my finger on, but I like it. The rest of the 6 pack will be left in the back of the fridge to age for 3 or 4 months.. I think.. or maybe just get a whole case ;)

Apr 26, 2006 Pours amber with a one-finger head. Aroma of caramel, German hops, and old cigars. Big caramel flavor, with a musty, lightly hoppy finish. Some of the cigar ash flavor is there, which keeps this from being one I’ll come back to.
