Aug 4, 2006 (bottle, from the brewery) Clear golden colour with a short white foamy persistent head. Sweet malty aroma with a light flowery hoppy but also alcoholic note. Sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Malty taste with a tinge of honey; moderately dry bitter finish. The alcohol is a bit harsh in the finish. All in all still ok.

May 23, 2006 Impressions from the Gaststätte:
-A ring of head surrounds the clear golden.
-Aroma is bland for a maibock, a few more hops or honeyed malts would have been nice.
-Hay and honey do appear in the flavor profile, thankfully, ably balanced to an earthy hoppy bitterness.
-The soft effervescence is comfortable, and the malts know how to take advantage of this fact.
-A decent maibock hell, but Klosterbräu makes a much more enticing example, imho.
On tap at the brewery.

Aug 21, 2005 Bottled. An old gold coloured beer which pours with no head. The aroma is fairly sweet but not overly so, and malty. The alcohol also comes through in the nose. This alcohol continues through into a warming filling taste with a creamy consistency and nice malty sweetness. Found this really tasty.

Jun 4, 2005 Bottle (bought at Vroni’s, Bamberg, Franconia) Deep golden colour, thin but lasting white head; quite alcoholic nose with a tinge of maltiness; sweet malty beginning, thin malty flavour, ending quickly dryer an bitter; only medium bodied and not very well rounded, kind of unharmonic with too dominant alcohol. Disappointing !

Jun 6, 2004 Updated: Jun 18, 2006Light golden color, sugary peacharoma. Malty and sugary flavor. Some bitterness. Only medium bodied, lacks fruit and power, so a bit disappointing.
