Capa (1905) - Manama, BAHRAIN - SEP 19, 2011
Very pale brown with a smallish white head. Aroma and flavor are of lgithly sweet malts with some earthy hops. Very light flavor-wise. Nothing wrong with this but there isn’t much here and what is, is uninspired.

Not bad but not all that good. Very thin head. Pleasantly malty but not a lot else going on.

Pours gold with a thin head. The aroma is grassy and grainy. The taste is sweet with a bubblegum aftertaste. Clean finish.

pottygok (346) - Ohio, USA - AUG 1, 2011
Aroma: Malt and alcohol Appearance: Pale gold with white head, dissipates quickly Taste: Light sweetness, but not much Palate: Watery taste, light body, flat carbonation Overall: It’s drinkable, but weak with no character and only a hint of malty depth.

Tonkun (319) - New York, USA - JUL 31, 2011
Bottle. Orange gold pour with head that quickly disappeared. Caramel, syrup, apple, flower. Pretty carbonated for the body. Have a slight sweet after taste. No bad, but not good.

ContemplateBeer (1142) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - JUL 17, 2011
Aroma of light caramel and chocolate with a bit of apple. Appearance is tinted gold with virtually no head (a sin for a German style beer). Flavor matches the nose but with a slight herbal hop finish. Palate was bubbly. Pretty dull.

DrSilverworm (2726) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JUL 4, 2011
12oz bottle. Clear golden color, one finger off-white head that leaves lacing. Nice, malty taste, with a hint of hops. Some caramel, but nothing strong. Quick finish. Not bad, better than the other 2 Dundees I’ve tried so far, but still not very interesting... Carbonation is too sharp, and texture is kind of syrupy.

This is a pretty watery Maibock from a pretty macro brewer. Not much expectation but it wasn’t terrible.
