Can de 500 ml. Une miel de couleur miel avec un collet presque nul non-collant. Arome de malt et de sirop de mais. Gout un peu sucré, blé, sirop de mais et miel.

Had in 0.5 L can. Looking forward to this one after having the festbock. Aroma of urine, corn, and stinky malts. Barely drinkable. The most prominent flavour is the 7 percent alc. Almost unbearable. Colour of yellow urine with a large white head. A pretty bad beer and I will never drink it again

Sweet, malty flavor with honey and little complexity or balance. Drinkable but not worthy of being called a maibock--this is a Euro strong lager, good for consuming a large amount of alcohol with a bearable taste, but not a classic Spring festival style.

[1262-20080405] 500mL can. Boozy thick grain syrup aroma with sweet forest floor notes. Clear, light amber orange body with a quick foamy white head. Sweet grainy malt booze flavour with a sweet syrup aftertaste. Medium body. Boozy but not terrible.

(Can). Appearance: Clear, deep golden to amber with a very small head that quickly disappears. It has a dominant alcoholic aroma and notes of sugar and sweet malt. Flavor is mostly medium bitter and malty, with sweetness in certain parts. Has a decent body but it’s unbalanced, overcarbonated, and the alcohol aroma quite spoils everything. At least, with the 7% it’s better than many mediocre beers that cost more, and has a reasonable price here in Chile for a 500ml can.

Canette de 500 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur miel-dorée et une mousse qui laisse rapidement le liquide se protéger seul. Au nez on découvre des arômes de maîs, de métal et de jus de pomme. En bouche le corps est mince-moyen. La bière nous révèles des saveurs d’alcool, de jus de pomme, de poire, de céréale ainsi que des notes métalliques.

Canette de 500 ml achetée chez ANBL (Dieppe, N-B). Arôme: Odeur de miel fruité avec une pointe d’alcool. Apparence: La couleur est orangée avec une moyenne densité de bulle. Présence d’un large col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréale avec une pointe fruitée et d’alcool. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’alcool en arrière goût. (Rating #1636)
