Clean white foam leaves some lace atop a pale and very clear golden lager. Bread and barley sugar aroma with a slight hint of pine. Medium bodied with rich clean malt with just a little sappy caramel, hops are in there but not up front. Really really clean and well crafted maibock.

500 ML can. Pours a very small head. Apple juice color.Malt like aroma.Light tasting for a German beer. A bit of sweetness in the aftertaste. A good beer to start off the night at 7% alcohol. Overall a pleasant brew.

0.5L can. Pours an amber colour with no head. Complex aroma smells very fruity. Palate is smooth but thick, and it leaves a light film in the mouth - not unpleasant though. Very strong sweet malt flavour. Quite overwhelming at first, but it eases up a bit. I find the malt flavour hides any other flavours that may be present. I definitely prefer the festbock.

I just ’stumbled’ upon this beer at a provincial liquor store here in B.C. I was concerned about the beer being in a can but the subtle sweet finish makes it all worth it ... Like a fine wine in a can if you can dig it . It’s Thanksgiving here in Canada and thankful I am for this beer ... CHeers ... bottoms up :P

creamy head, disappearing fast. A sweet, bit hoppy aroma. The taste is malty and sweet with a short bitter finish. A good, but not memorable maibock
