Spaten Maibock

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: Heller Bock
Munich, Germany

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker, Stein

Has a golden body with very faint white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Has an equally sweet taste with typical German pils graininess followed by some floral hop notes. Well done with little hint of alcohol.

Draught. Typical mild semi-sweet malty aroma. Clear golden with a foamy lacing white head. Flavor was sweet, malty. Simple, but good. Silky medium body.

On draft. Pale w/ a light head; sweeetisdh aroma. WOW the flavor, complex blend of sweet fruitiness w/ richness and a hop bite. Long finish. Splendid

On tap@ Cole’s. Malty, bready nose, yellow with a tiny white head. Biscuity malt taste, bready too. Very tangy on the tongue, like sourdough yeast, lightbodied,enjoyable.

Draft. pours a darker gold, very well carbonated, nose of honey and barnyardy type hops, very light though. Flavor profile is perhaps a little too sweet, strong caramels with a light hop backing, interesting hops underutilized. Refreshing, but not as interesting as I remembered from last year.

Light pour, light color, almost no head. Is this a bock? It sure is! Nice aroma, better flavor.

tap. light golden color. no head. lighter than expected. smooth palate. foes down easy. tastes like rich malt. no overwhelming hop bitterness. Spaten Maibock finishes like an Augustiner.
