3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A pale orange beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is rather sweet and malty with a touch of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet and malty and again with the alcohol shining thru, leading to a dry bitter and alcoholic end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, fully golden with a creamy, white head. Malty nose with some alcohol shining through. Solid body with lots of sweetish pilsener malt and a sophisticated - almost perfumy - edge. Discreet, hoppy finish. Very clean and true to style Maibock. 150506

Bottled. Deep golden, brief head. Buttery malt aroma. Grassy hops and toffee up front. Medium sweet with rivh maltiness and clean but filling mouthfeel.
Some salty licorice in a lingering bitter finish. A solid bock.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear, copper colour. Clean, slightly tosaty maltiness. Full body. Breadcrusty malts, light alcohol signature. Balanced, clean, a little bit refreshing. Seems to hit all the notes right down the middle.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear, golden-orange body with medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, bready, grassy. Taste is biscuit/bread, pine, grassy, some alcohol, finishing cereal, pine and light grassy. Medium body with some crispness. Decent beer, but nothing special.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sparkling clear, golden lager with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is floral with notes of clover honey, dandelion and white bread.
Perfectly-balanced flavor with notes of lemon rind. Medium-bodied with an oily/syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Poured a hazy amber with an average creamy white head that diminished slowly and produced good lacing. Average sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium sweet malt flavor with a light bitter finish of average duration.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Deep golden with a fast fading white head. Sweet pale malt aroma, a bit of stone fruite (apricot) as well. Fairly clean, but the mouthfeel is a bit oil and slick. Sweet pale malt, bread and a bit of lingering breadiness. Faint noble hops. OK, but a bit lacking in character. As it warms, some nice toasty notes come forward.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Clear gold colored body with a sticky, foamy off-white head. Semi-sweet toasted cereal grain and honey nose. Mild hop presence in the nose, husky, earthy, peaty hop aroma. Big hop presence taste, though, with toasted grains and bread and corn husk, turning slightly metallic and sour in the finish. Slick and moderately thick. Overall quite good, not as good as other heller bocks, and it kind of just tastes like Flying Dog, there’s something they do similar in almost every beer it seems. Regardless it’s a solid beer, refreshing.
