Clean white foam leaves some lace atop a pale and very clear golden lager. Bread and barley sugar aroma with a slight hint of pine. Medium bodied with rich clean malt with just a little sappy caramel, hops are in there but not up front. Really really clean and well crafted maibock.

500 ML can. Pours a very small head. Apple juice color.Malt like aroma.Light tasting for a German beer. A bit of sweetness in the aftertaste. A good beer to start off the night at 7% alcohol. Overall a pleasant brew.

0.5L can. Pours an amber colour with no head. Complex aroma smells very fruity. Palate is smooth but thick, and it leaves a light film in the mouth - not unpleasant though. Very strong sweet malt flavour. Quite overwhelming at first, but it eases up a bit. I find the malt flavour hides any other flavours that may be present. I definitely prefer the festbock.

Bottle pours pale golden, large white pancake batter like head, spotty lacing, with soft carbonation.   Pale malts, sweet grass, and light fruit on the nose.   Grassy flavor, fairly sweet, malty as well.   Good body, smooth mouthfeel.   Light sweet finish, simple, clean, smooth malty trailer.   Against the grain, but I find it quite enjoyable!

I just ’stumbled’ upon this beer at a provincial liquor store here in B.C. I was concerned about the beer being in a can but the subtle sweet finish makes it all worth it ... Like a fine wine in a can if you can dig it . It’s Thanksgiving here in Canada and thankful I am for this beer ... CHeers ... bottoms up :P

creamy head, disappearing fast. A sweet, bit hoppy aroma. The taste is malty and sweet with a short bitter finish. A good, but not memorable maibock

Dark straw to light amber in color, light malt aroma. What was interesting about this beer was the silky, smooth mouth feel coupled with the warmth of alcohol. i found this to be a nice beer especially from a can. I was also surprised by the color of this Mai-Bock. Cheers

Not much of a head at all on this beer. This smells pretty fruity for sure, with a strong malty smell as well. Flavor is almost overtaken by the alcohol. I will say it is better than I had expected it to be.
