COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
By tradition, the first barrel of Maibock is tapped in the Hofbräuhaus in the last week of April, in time for the merry month of May. The success story of Munich’s oldest bock beer goes back as far as 1614. With its powerfully aromatic flavour and its alcoholic content of some 7.2% volume, Hofbräu Maibock marks one of the high points in the beer-lover’s calendar!

Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet grainy malty aroma with some lighter herbal notes. The flavor has grainy and bready sweetness and light herbal and earthy notes. Pretty good.

kiwianer (780) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - MAY 28, 2012
Dieser Maibock ist hauptsächlich malzig-alkoholisch, der Alkoholgeschmack geht aber noch. Im Nachgeschmack schmeckt er hopfig alkoholisch. Fazit: Durchschnitt. Test vom 23.3.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,8,7,7,11,8 - 8,05

Bottle 0.5 l. Dark gold. Slight sweet in the nose carries throughout with a mild hops charger. Not overly complex but good. Taste of burnt brown sugar. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Slubgob (27) - West Hartford, USA - MAY 19, 2012
Dark gold on the glass oef tap. Slight sweet in the noise Carries throughout with a mild hops charger keeping it fresh. Seemed detracts from an otherwise crisp refreshing summer sipper. Not overly complex but good enough to keep inviting further samples

On tap. An orangeish helles bock. This one is malty and caramally with a touch of noble hops.

Lorenasa (76) - Florida, USA - MAY 6, 2012
pours a beautiful amber with a large short-lasting head. Aroma of nuts and malts and alcohol. Goes down with a smooth flavor of nuts and malt. One of the few beers that really flavor and aroma match quite well. Finshes with just a hint of bitterness.

After the muted aroma this just excells, nutty malty, amazing stuff with a perfect peppery bitterness balancing it out.
