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!

From a sixpack costing $9.69 at BevMo this poured cloudy brown with tan head and light lacing. Noes of of caramel malts with some ripe fruit. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavor has some sweetness, and the finish is malty.

Bottle. Malty caramel aroma. Copper-amber body, small off-white head. Flavor is moderately sweet, caramel and some fruitiness. Relatively long pleasant finish.

A gem send via New Zealand thanks James. Even know this beer has travelled more than a IPA back in the day it seemed stronger than all that travel and the green bottle although slightly light struck this beer was big malty and one of the better Maibock I have had. Would like to belly up to a tap of this for the night..Page 216 of Michael Jackson’s GBG and only 145 of his 500 Classic Brews to go

Pours muddy brown, decent head, some lacing. Aroma smells of very sweet, perhaps past it’s prime, fruits. Sweet caramel flavor, some honey, vanilla, and a sharp fruity note but not in a good way. There’s a sweet, skunky taste that lingers a little. One of three things happened here, the bottle is old, I’m starting to get spoiled, or it’s just not very good. Who knows.

Poured into a pilsner glass with a huge head. Aromas of yeast and plums. Initial flavor of hops followed by a slightly bitter roasted taste. Good German beer.

Buona la Hofbrau Maibock, l’unica che mi mancava di quelle che riesco facilmente a reperire grazie alla Hofbrauhaus di Genova. L’ho bevuta accompagnandola a un bel piattone di tre canederli burro e salvia. L’aspetto è molto grazioso, bel colore ambrato chiaro con splendida schiuma; aroma fortemente maltato, sapore deciso, dolce ma non offensivo, qualche nota metallica non rovina l’idillio. Buona la Hofbrau Maibock.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine. Pours a tasty-looking 1.5 inch off-white head over a honey/amber body. This has a dry aroma of sawdust and subtle malty grains. Spotty lacing. Flavors include toasty wheat, a refreshingly subtle hops presence, more malts, and a caramel-apple aftertaste. Mild carbonation and medium body. A refreshing and smooth and solid beer.
