Warm golden with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, flower and hints of alcohol. The flavour has sweetness, notes of malt, caramel, flower and alcohol, maybe a little too much, but still the overall impression is OK.

Light golden color, sugary peacharoma. Malty and sugary flavor. Some bitterness. Only medium bodied, lacks fruit and power, so a bit disappointing. (6 3 6 3 10) Bottle: Malt and apricot in the aroma. Medium bodied, slightly alcoholic. A firm earthy bitterness, persisting in the aftertaste.

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 !

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.
