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!

Good cross behind double bock and amber. Malty aroma from the get go. Malty but not overwhelming. Clean finish no aftertaste. Wish the actual hofbrauhouse served this beer regularly

Nice amber color with a white head. Big malt nose. Smooth well rounded malt with a touch of bitternes. Great maibock

mmm, wonderfully toasty and toffeeish. Love that malt flavor. Delectable and a perfect match for savory foods. Nice depth to the flavor.

This is a fantastic maibock, amber in color with an orange hue, big & fluffy light tan head, aroma full of malts with hints of caramel, toffee & pine, velvetty-smooth body, very drinkable, lots of malt in the flavors with subtle notes of caramel, herbs & nuts, but it’s really the finish & aftertaste that makes this beer so great, very smooth, begs you to take another gulp, this is borderline addicting, very impressive beer

This beer poured a bright orange with a large white head. The aroma was bready and the taste was malty. The finish was somewhat sweet and made me want more. This was a great beer and one worth trying. One of the best in the style.

How do they get the goat on the label to hold a stein when everybody knows goats don't have opposable thumbs?! A light, sourish/sweetish, copper-colored maibock beer that won't be confused with a doppelbock anytime soon. Could drink more than one. Very very malty and caremelly sweet with a hint of alcohol. Nice toffee aroma, too.

Mmmm. Wake up and smell the Mai-Bock. Tremendous fluffy head over fine copper. Deep rich malt aroma. Wonderful sweet malt, and as you swallow, you’ll find alcohol tingling the roof of your mouth, wafting through your nose and warming your chest. What a great example of this style.
