330 ml swingtop bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Golden colour, moderate white head. Fresh and pleasant aroma, notes of herbal and slightly spicy hops, on a background of pale malts. The flavour is very fresh and fruity for a lager beer, also herbal and spicy notes. Easy drinking and fairly dry, but not thin - there are sufficient malts around. Has a nice alcoholic punch, but the alcohol does not dominate the flavour. More refined than other Maibocks / heller bocks I’ve had. Pleasant to drink, with food or on its own.

Decent heller bock from the north. Darker gold than normal, with creamy head, aroma of malt. Smooth taste and chewy slightly mouthfeel. A little snap to the finish, almost pure malt flavor.

Pours a crystal clear, light golden coloration with a medium, foamy head. Smell is sweet, doughy, malt and grassy, herbal hops. Taste follows the nose, with a good balance of doughy, biscuity malt and grassy, herbal hops. Light notes of citrus, grains and spice. Finishes bittersweet with a light herbaceous note in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

While this is not a great example of the style, it's not that bad either. Nice malty highlights balanced by herbal, grassy hops that never let this become too sweet.

yeah this is a Maibock, not an exemplary good one and in the aroma it is a bit unpleasant, but it delivered what I wanted a pale high abv lager nothing more nothing less

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Jan 2018. Purchased just the other day from Trembling Madness in York. A 'springbock' for winter.

A: Poured into a tulip. A clear golden-amber colour with moderate carbonation. Forms a decent head of creamy white foam that lasts for a moment before subsiding and dissipating.

S: Aroma of grainy malt with hints of barley sugar, subtle husks, stewed hops and vague earthy yeast. Decent but a tad bland.

T: Tastes of sweet, grainy malt with notes of barley sugar, mild fruitiness, husks, stewed hops and subtle earthy yeast. Somewhat sweet, followed by a subdued leafy bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with soft carbonation and good body. Pretty smooth. Aftertaste of sweet malt, stewed hops, faint husks and yeast.

O: Pleasant enough, though this bottle is a bit old. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are decidedly malty. Sparse hop character. Nice body. Drinkable but doesn't hold your attention. Grab a fresh one to try.

L: Pours a clear golden color with a small top of white head that disolves radpily.

A: malts, bread,honey,herbal and grassy hops,

T: The flavour sweet with light malts inn the back, then finishes off with herbal hops .Sweetness is not overwhelming. Moderate bitterness inn the finish, and really not that much off a aftertaste there.

M: Medium carbonation with medium body. clean mouthfeel but a little flat.

O: All inn all this is a decent enough helles bock, but not to exiting i must say.

Light yellow colour with a big head of foam that sinks quite fast however. Smell of pilsener malt and pilsener hops. It also tastes like a buffed up pilsener. The intensity is nice, but the entity gets boring quite fast. Taste is also too sweet for my liking. Pretty refreshing though, I'll give them that. This category has more interesting stuff though.

330ml, shorty swing-top bottle - yeaaaahhh - bock beer in October! And could a product have a more stereotypically German-sounding name?

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a bit of sudsy reaching tree branch lace around the glass as things duly recede.

It smells of biscuity and crackery pale malt, a warmed applesauce and pear fruitiness, some none-too-subtle petrol-esque booziness, dead yeast, and a spicy, leafy, and grassy hoppiness. The taste is bready, slightly doughy pale malt, wet saltine crackers, muddled white stone fruit, a still heady gasohol astringency, some free-range nougaty sugars, and more attractive in their fecundity leafy, weedy, and spicy hop bitters.

The bubbles are adequate in their palate covering frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, just a bit of alcohol acridity nosing about, looking for a place to happen. It finishes trending sweet, the base malt not about to start negotiating with France about the price of fruit, or whatever, and nicely warming.

Wow, another bock of late that doesn't suck high-test heat ass - the last one was Czech in origin, aping the Teutonic greats, and this one likewise does not let down its own actual countrymen. Malty, fruity, and boozy, all in just the right amounts and order - ja, ich mag!

Very similar to macrobrewed lagers, nothing special, but the price. Really disappointing.
