light alcoholic aroma,golden, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, oily feel, light alcoholic finish.

Unpleasent grainy notes. Golden coloured and clear .Has a white head, fully diminishing. Aroma is heavy sweet, grains. Flavor is heavy sweet too. Syrupy texture and soft carbonation.

Pours with a fluffy head that dissipates very quickly; golden coloured with almost no carbonation; saccharine, floral nose with a sweet, bready flavour that, for a strong beer, doesn't have an overpowering alcohol bite to it. (500ml can)

Canned - 500ml. Pours a nice golden body with a quick-fading white head. Weak malty aroma with timid caramel hints. Mouthfeel is dominated by the taste of alcohol. This doesn’t looks, smells or tastes like a Maibock. It is definitely a shame for german Braukunst!

clear golden with white foam, the aroma is metallic with hint of straw. it has slightly fruity flavor that is somewhat off balanced with hops. not sure what to make of it.

What can I say, just not a fan. Had some weird taste I can’t put my finger on, or was it I drank this beer to late in the evening. Either way some citrus with metallic taste...off!

1 finger head that hardly last and was so thin. Not many bubbles going up and not many on the glass I used. Taste well I’m used to bock beers being dark & thios one is golden with like a boozy garbage taste that comes after a veary quite water taste that has a little bite to it. It’s a heavy bodied beer that is on the smooth side a bite but not like the creaMY SMOOth beer’s they r a better smoothness. So really i see it more as a boozy not so good lager. Better beers & better German beers out there. I onoly know this & the festbock & so far holsten is a bit gross. only good for getting the 7% buzz cheer’s.

Maybe I don't know bocks. But this is a very thin, alcohol laced, straw-colored one. Not very impressive but I did manage to finish it. Thin malt, thin hops, virtually no aroma, no head. Served in a can.

whats with the BIG 7% on the bottle. is this marketed to the boozers who are looking for osmething strong and cheap? Well in my opinion it ranks up there is the strong and cheap stuff in taste thats for sure. this is awful. Tastes like a cheap macro with a boatload of BOOZE. yuck. definetly one for the drain.

500ML can sample- No head whatsoever. (Maybe I poured it wrong?) but I do not think so. Medium-dark straw colour. Hints of oranges and other citrus odours. Medium bodied, but has a stronger finish. The taste was sort of strange....sort of can mixed with alcohol and oranges.
