3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Getreidiger Beginn, dezente Malznoten, untertönige Süße. Deutlich intensiver im Mittelteil, hier vereinen sich Malz und Getreidigkeit zu einer führenden Würze. So bleibt das Bier einige Zeit, rund, harmonisch, zum Ende steigt die Bitterkeit geringfügig. Gut! 8/12/11/12/12/12

Bottle: Solid caramelly-bready nose with a toasty touch and a tinge of metal; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, quite full bodied; a tinge of alcohol in the sweet-caramelly finish, followed by a light tartness. O.K. , but not great.......
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Lovely color, amber/brown, with ample carbonation and a dense initial head. Prototypical maibock aroma, earthy with molasses and leafy hops, slightly spicy - very fresh and very good. Flavor is so German, so natural, so earthy. Slight-to-moderate bitterness (leafy, organic, bitter greens) with some saltiness. Medium sweetness (molasses, iron). Palate almost to spritzy, but not quite. Defines Maibock to me.

Bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Pale amber color. Malty bready flavor, firmly hopped. Notes of grass and citrus. peach. Shy aroma with malt and grass. Almost vinous aftertaste. Nice!

Tried to get this beer in Saxony without succes, finally found it in a Norma-market in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The bottle looks really good, beer in the glass also, deep golden, nice head. Spicy-grasy aroma. Starts intense spicy, some wheaty-grasy notes, soft touch of lemon. Finish well balanced, not as intense spicy as the beginning, very drinkable. Really good maibock!
