Bottle. Hops, Grass, sweet bread, nice, little bit alcoholic. A yellow clear body with a white head and a medium size. The flavor is bitter and has a long duration. On the palate the beer has a medium body, a dry texture and a lively carbonation. The finish is slightly metallic.

Die Schaumkrone hält nicht gut, süßlich, zu intensiv hopfig-süß obwohl dies im vergleich zu manchen anderen Maiböcken noch mild ist, mir gefällt es dennoch nicht. Test vom 25.5.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,6,6,7,7 - 6,80

light sweet hoppy aroma,golden, clear, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, light dry finish.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2012 170112: Fresh, cool and grassy scent - indeed almost spring-like. Taste: rich, strong and a good bitterness from the hops. German hops power..

Hopfig-malziger, sehr trocken wirkender Antrunk. Im Mittelteil leicht alkoholisch, darunter aber ziemlich wässrig. Leicht würzig im Nachgeschmack, dies versiegt schnell, ebenso wie der Alkoholton. Test vom 21.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,8,6,8,8 - 7,95

330ml bottle! The beer in the glass is slightly pale yellow, could turn out stronger for a Maibock. The crown will disappear completely within a few seconds. Starts very sweet, almost too sweet for me a Maibock. The hops come through well, but is rejected by the pungent sweet tone in his place. In the middle section, the whole thing puts something. Although a good palatable Bock, but too sweet, in my opinion!

Sweet and sour scent of figs. Sour taste of figs and brown sugar, no bitterness. Fairly neutral aftertaste, except for the flavor of alkohol. This is a bit of a strange beer but I give some extra points for the distinct flavor of figs!

This is not as good as Haake-Beck Pils. I think there´s to much alcohol in this one.

It is golden with a white, creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt and flower. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of alcohol, malt, flower and a light bitterness in the finish. It is rather crisp considering the style, but also a bit too boozy.

Botella. Thin golden colour, medium white ehad. Mild fruity and grainy hoppisha roma. Mild fruitish and grainy alco sweet and bitter flavour.

Bottle 33cl. @ home.
