1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Had in 0.5 L can. Looking forward to this one after having the festbock. Aroma of urine, corn, and stinky malts. Barely drinkable. The most prominent flavour is the 7 percent alc. Almost unbearable. Colour of yellow urine with a large white head. A pretty bad beer and I will never drink it again
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Sweet, malty flavor with honey and little complexity or balance. Drinkable but not worthy of being called a maibock--this is a Euro strong lager, good for consuming a large amount of alcohol with a bearable taste, but not a classic Spring festival style.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
[1262-20080405] 500mL can. Boozy thick grain syrup aroma with sweet forest floor notes. Clear, light amber orange body with a quick foamy white head. Sweet grainy malt booze flavour with a sweet syrup aftertaste. Medium body. Boozy but not terrible.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Can). Appearance: Clear, deep golden to amber with a very small head that quickly disappears. It has a dominant alcoholic aroma and notes of sugar and sweet malt. Flavor is mostly medium bitter and malty, with sweetness in certain parts. Has a decent body but it’s unbalanced, overcarbonated, and the alcohol aroma quite spoils everything. At least, with the 7% it’s better than many mediocre beers that cost more, and has a reasonable price here in Chile for a 500ml can.

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Canette de 500 ml.
La bière se présente avec une couleur miel-dorée et une mousse qui laisse rapidement le liquide se protéger seul. Au nez on découvre des arômes de maîs, de métal et de jus de pomme. En bouche le corps est mince-moyen. La bière nous révèles des saveurs d’alcool, de jus de pomme, de poire, de céréale ainsi que des notes métalliques.

I tried this beer on March 18, 2008 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent orangy-gold colour with a generous white fluffy head that disappeared quite quickly. The aroma was very grassy with very little other discernable aromas. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, ample carbonation, with a little bitterness. The flavour was again a lot of grass with a little bit of hoppy bitterness. When it comes to Holsten brews, this is not as good as the Festbock, but better than the Premium.
