Clear golden appearance, light carbonation, good head formation. Sweet fruity aroma, light hoppiness, slight skunk. Sweet cleanish malt palate, some bite from the alcohol, slight hoppy bite in the finish. Too sweet, and alcohol too dominant. Lacks in flavor for this style, just a cheap strong lager.

Ok, it’s a Euro Colt45 as a previous contributer has stated. Any european beer is better than most NA beers. That said, this is rich, malty,mildly fruity. Not the worst malt liquor you will taste.

Surprisingly smooth for a 7% beer. Slightly bitter taste that becomes less noteworthy as you work your way down the glass. Nice gold colour, no head to speak of.

Bottle, DBF 2004. Gold, poor white head and moderate condition. Hefty malt in the nose almost drowning out some traces of hop. Sweet malt with a touch of toffee in the mouth and a gentle hop flavour. Chewy finish dominated by sweet malt. Perfectly drinkable but lacks any complexity.

Orange coloured. This is a quite thin and boring Maibock. Rather sweet and bland.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is slightly sweet - rather boring. The flavor is malty sweet and plain boring.

Canned - 500ml. Pours a nice golden body with a quick-fading white head. Weak malty aroma with timid caramel hints. Mouthfeel is dominated by the taste of alcohol. This doesn’t looks, smells or tastes like a Maibock. It is definitely a shame for german Braukunst!

Golden color with a white head. The taste is watery with grassy hops with some sweet fruity notes in the background.
