| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. MiP (9087), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 12, 2007 Bottle, 7%. Almost clear dark golden colour. Small stable white head. Quite malty flavour with some earth to it. Mildly hoppy. Pleasant carbonation and good mouthfeel. MartinT (5055), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. Maria (6225), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2008 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. Otje (668), Leiden, Netherlands
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 16, 2006 Hazy golden beer. Malty, fruity aromas with some butter. Tastes sweetish malty, honeyish, some hay and finishes in a good persistent bitterness. Quite nice. MoritzF (4954), Bochum, Germany
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. omhper (12219), Stockholm, Sweden
