Lactic and oak aroma. Cloudy, brown color, small off-white head, diminishes fast. Starts off lactic, later more sweet, some spices, watery. Short finish. I think the cask was old and I hope to re-rate it some time.

Sampled at Utrechts Bokbierfestival: Cloudy brown. Vanilla aroma. Malty taste, bit Chouffe like amber. Small sourness. Amber finish, or bubblegum, just what you imagine.

Maximiliaan Speltbier
Sampled draught on Brouwhuis Maximiliaan, Amsterdam.
Yellow coloured and hazy with fine, creamy head. Rich grainy heat and coriander aroma. Softly malty with vanilla flavour. Clean with salty and unusually bitter finish for a witbier. Wonderful nose and malt profile, but lacking in complexity.

Sampled draught on Brouwhuis Maximiliaan, Amsterdam.
Golden coloured, slightly hazy. Spicy, hoppy aroam, notes of horseblanket. Dry and lightly fruity. Very drinkable with nice salty bitter finish. For good and bad not very true to the kölsch style.

Beautiful aroma: honey, citrus and fresh wheat. Taste has a hint of sourness and honey, orange and some yeastiness. Late hopbitterness and a bit of licorice.

Drunk at the brewery on the terrace outside. One of the best places to hang out in Amsterdam just on the edge of the red light district. Mandarin and hops in the aroma. A yeasty, flowery, hopbitter taste. Just a bit thin.

Good bock beer. Has elements of a white beer to it. Not bad at all, refreshing, but not a typical bock. I like this one better than Maximiliaan's double.

Had this on tap, think the alcohol content was 6,5%. Cloudy light brown beer with a dominant yeasty flavour. Not what I would think of as a "bock", but perhaps the "meibok" style is supposed to be more or less like this one?

Rated the 2002 version from tap! Wine and grape aroma. Hazy, red/brown, rocky head, fair lacing. Sweet, light gluhwein spices (which gives it a very special character), full and warm. Long hopbitter and spicy finish.

Maximiliaan Bethanien
Very clear, but cloudy color is reminiscent of this beer's German counterpart. The nose is fruity, but a little sulfury. Very dry taste with a touch of grapefruit, and a faint bitter finish. Thin and refreshing, but not comparable to a Kölsch from Cologne. Still, a decent brew.

Light yeasty aroma, huge head and a cloudy blond color. A fresh, spicey taste predominates. Sweet and sugary too. A high alcohol intensifies the pleasant flavor.

Wheat appearance, but the aroma is very sour. This continues in the taste, citric sourness.

Yeasty, and alcohol-accented. I know these are typical for the style, but this was a very straightforward, typical example.

Dark, malty. Fairly tasty, but perhaps a little bit too yeasty to bang with the big boys from 't IJ.

Intended as a Kolsch, to me this was more Belgian (perhaps the influence of maritime barley?). It did have a good dose of bitterness, but the overall softness and yeast note lend this interpretation of Kolsch a very Belgian feel.

Maximiliaan Speltbier
Vaguely a witbier by style, but made with unusual grains. This has an interesting dryish flavour to go along with the sweet malt and citric notes common to the style.

A bit cloudy. Not much aroma. A bit sweet with a strange flavor that might be the yeast.
