stefanje (597), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA May 16, 2008 500 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a golden color with medium white head. The aroma is grassy, sweet and fruity, with a hint of cherry. The flavor is sweet with grasses and a touch of cereal. The mouthfeel was just a bit thin. The finish was short and clean with lingering hops. overall: A good summer seasonal.
CanIHave4Beers (216), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Oct 13, 2008 Pours a very pale color with a thick fluffy white head. It looks like a good pilsner, however tastes quite differently. The beer has a defined sweet malt aroma of bread dough and a little bit of wet hops. The texture is delightful, very thick but creamy. The flavor is slightly more dry than sweet with a nice malt character. Glouglouburp (2006), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 2, 2008 In short: A standard pale bock lager, average for the Maibock (unofficial) style.
How: Bottle, 500ml swing-top, consumed fresh a few days after purchase
The look: Clear golden body topped by a medium white head
In long: Mostly typical classic Maibock flavours. Juicy citrusy bready and caramelized body. A bit doughy. Some cooked vegetables but not really bothersome. Boiled eggs (I get that from certain lagers, I’m the only one). Good mouthfeel. Nice thirst-quencher but overall a pretty standard offering for the genre. A little Maibock with nothing special. Notamünster Maibock.
SuperDave70 (831), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 12, 2008 Pours a clear gold color with a foamy white head. Aroma is sweet light fruit and malt. Flavor is a bit better, with the fruit and malt sweetness, as well as a touch of hoppy spice. Medium mouthfeel.
